Brief Summary
CONCEPTUAL, SMART THINKING CREATIVE
With 20+ years experience in the industry, I bring a mix of old school skills and current thinking to everything I do. I work a mouse and monitor, but have a passion for hand-drawn concepts and visuals. I am highly conceptual (an ideas person) with a skilled eye for design and good taste. I collaborate with writers, planners, illustrators and photographers, lead creative-teams, designers, and studios but like to get hands-on when the project needs it.
