.::. Artist's Statement .::.

I see design as simply a highly refined form of communication. It combines our most successful traditional ways of communication, story telling, language, and visual arts, into a power-packed multimedia expression.

My work has always been focused on being intelligible. Nothing should take away from the original purpose of any design. I never underestimate the ability of strong typography or the effectiveness of layout and conscious white space.

I am inspired most by the needs of others. When challenged with a problem I see the designer as the liaison between the need and a well-designed conceptual solution. Balancing the demands of each side becomes the crux of a successful designer and there is no greater feeling of accomplishment than to produce an intelligent, creative, and effective solution.

I am proud and excited to be a designer in a generation that is continuing to understand the importance and inherent power in communication and good design.
