why hire me

I love my work as a freelance designer. It gives me the experience of working with clients from beginning to end. I excel at uncovering needs, organizing information and developing projects from concept through final production. I understand the big picture and how best to utilize the web and print media to grab your audience's attention. I will help you communicate your message across media and create solutions, which are on message, on budget and on time.

I invite you to spend some time browsing both the graphic & web design and the studio furniture & lighting sections of my web site to get a better idea of what I do and my design sensibility. Please contact me for an appointment to meet and talk about your needs.

what's with the furniture?

I’m glad you asked. It shows that I understand how to design inventive, unusual and, yes, sometimes-funky things that work in the real world. A coffee table with adjustable feet so you can level it on uneven floors, a mantle clock that you can tell time on from 20 feet away, and a hall table that won't tip over when you bump into it. I thrive on the opportunity to look and think outside the box. I’ll help you uncover what it is you want to do with your web site, logo or poster Then I will design a solution that stands out in a crowd.

who I am

Born in Stockton, California, I was raised in San Francisco with a couple of years away at school in Pennsylvania and upstate New York (long story). I returned to San Francisco where I graduated from Galileo High School. I eventually went on to study industrial design, sculpture and furniture design at California State Universities, Chico and Long Beach. After receiving my Bachelor of Arts in Art from CSULB, I thought it best to get a “real job”. I worked in sales and management for the lumber and building material industry for over ten years.

In 1997 Jennifer and I quit our “real jobs” and moved to Charlottesville, Virginia where I have returned to my passion for design. I spend most of my time now on graphic and web design, but I still enjoy working in many different media and exploring all design fields. When I have time, you will find me working in my studio on furniture, lamps and architectural projects, striving to use only reclaimed and sustainable materials.
