Originally from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, I have worked as both an art director and graphic designer at some of Dallas' finest advertising agencies and design shops.

Working with companies such as The Associates, American Diabetes Association, Ford Consumer Finance, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Dallas Lighthouse for The Blind and Churchs Chicken has allowed me to gain extensive advertising and design experience.

Backed with a degree in visual communications (advertising) and marketing from The University of North Texas, I have developed a creative style for solving design and marketing problems - whether it be a simple logo or a full-blown advertising campaign. From the conceptual stages to final output, a simple mission statement is applied to every job: "Always create great work (design) for great people (clients), that will benefit all parties concerned. The creator, the client and most importantly, the final customer must always be satisfied." By applying this simple mission statement to each job task, I have always succeeded in solving design challenges. Also, "When marketing objectives are determined, concepts can then be developed for on-target advertising and design solutions."

In addition to advertising and design, I also enjoy photography (traditional & digital), running, biking, writing, and collecting PEZ dispensers. Click here if you got any you wanna sell. PEZ that is.
