I seek to create ideas and solutions that are authentic, dramatic and which elicit an emotional response from consumers. I am passionate about design, advertising, and media. I am capable of taking projects from ideation to execution using big-picture thinking and pixel-level precision that produces results. I develop designs that are on strategy and reflect a brand's style and personality. I design in a wide variety of styles that correspond to my clients' needs. My work ethic is diligent and I remain flexible and productive in team collaboration. What excites me about advertising is its ubiquity and scale. What excites me more, is when I see design executed with sophistication and perfection. When you couple scale with superb execution, your client message leaves an enormous impression on millions of people.
