education

A big fan of perpetual self-education, I take pride in mastering tools as they appear and evolve.
My passion for rolling up my sleeves and diving deep had me teaching various creative software
at a design college years ago, and to teams of artists at numerous companies since then.

I also had the privilege of attending some exceptional schools:

University of California Los Angeles / Spring 01
Advanced After Effects

University of California Santa Barbara / Summer 98
Advanced web site design

University of Michigan School of Art / 86 – 90
BFA with honors, graphic design, drawing + painting

hardware

Zealous expert on Mac.  Begrudgingly capable on PC.  Whip-smart on all things technical;
fluent with cross-platform production.




software

Master Guru in Photoshop.  Expert in Illustrator, AfterEffects, QuarkXPress, PowerPoint, Word, Premier, Director, iMovie.  Proficient in Dreamweaver, Flash, FreeHand, Lingo, HTML, Painter, Excel.





online

Everyone is highly plugged in, but for a designer the bar is far higher, requiring a deep understanding of how to design, integrate, and disseminate a client’s message across a
sea of online software, resources, and social media.
