My story

I started designing in 2005 and haven’t stopped since. I have worked in a variety of environments, in small companies, medium sized ones, and even the giant global big boys. I’ve worked for myself freelancing, worked in-house with other designers, and with many large agency partners. There’s nothing I can’t handle, and I always have fun doing it.
