I love building stories with Graphic Design with a focus on Brand Identity. New or old Brands, concept is key to building meaningful and unique identities that have lasting power. My approach is to break down the concept to it’s foundation and then build a connective story to each other.

 

Commitment, flexibility, independence, experimentation and inventiveness are key words when describing myself. More importantly, I’m a collaborator and a team worker. This certainly works well in a diverse inspired team environment.
