Hello. Are you looking for someone who smiles in photos and has proven he owns at least one suit? Well then look no further.

Also, I have 13 years of professional design experience, most of which has been in a Lead Designer capacity, overseeing projects for a variety of clients ā€“ from large national brands like Rolling Stone Magazine, to mid-sized, tech companies and small start-ups. I have extensive experience building brands from scratch, executing many different digital and print deliverables, and managing the day-to-day project schedule for myself and Junior Designers.

Iā€™m currently the Creative Manager for Four Corners, a fantastic hospitality group in Chicago, that keeps me busy designing for 15 bars and restaurants. Prior to that, I worked as a Lead Designer with the great people of Vis-a-vis Creative for 8 years.

I attended the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, where I studied Illustration and Graphic Design.

I love variety in my work and have had the pleasure to work on a varied assortment of projects for a diverse group of clients over the years. I have experience designing and building websites, developing brand identities, creating sales collateral, producing artwork for print, creating custom illustrations, project management, art direction, storyboarding, creating animated videos, creating marketing campaigns, conducting press checks and basically anything that is even tangentially connected to graphic design.

I would love to work on a project with you! If you are interested OR if you have a scam email to send me, please click the button below. I look forward to talking with you and/or wiring you money to a bank account in the Cayman Islands.
