biopic

Designer, developer, dad and believer in keeping it simple.

As a designer with 15+ years of experience I’ve worked on a wide range of projects both large and small consisting mainly of identities, corporate communications and editorial design, to most recently website and interface design. In addidtion I have done front-end development for websites, specifically working with HTML, CSS and popular Javascript libraries. My work has been recognized in major design competitions and publications.

For the past 10 years, I have had the pleasure of working at MJR Creative Group where I enjoy balancing between print and web design projects. I particularly enjoy working on corporate identity and communications projects.

I was also part of the adjunct faculty at California State University Fresno in the Graphic Design department for eight years. My class focused on multi-piece assignements and was a major portfolio-building class for students.
