Creative Director/Designer For Hire.

A little guy with big ideas.

I am a Creative Director, Art Director, and Designer with more than 12 years of experience with a variety of clients including Highmark, American Diabetes Association, Harry & David, British Schools of America, Hollywood Tans, IMPAQT, XM Satellite Radio, Liberty Medical, American Eagle Outfitters, The Alleghenies, and the University of Pittsburgh. (Full client list to the right.)

For the past 10 years I have worked as a creative director for Mullen Advertising. I was responsible for the conception, design & layout, production and deployment of online and offline materials for vastly varied agency clients.

Currently I am seeking freelance opportunites and/or full time employment. If you see some things you like, or have questions about my capabilities, please let me know and we'll set up some face-to-face time.

And thanks for stopping by.

Skill Set.

What I have to offer your agency or business.

I am primarily a digital designer with a vast skill set of art/creative direction, layout and design, identity design, illustration and photography. I'm most comfortable using the Adobe product suite and have been known to dabble in some basic HTML, CSS and Flash development.

A Little More.
