About

I live with my wife and tabby cat in the San Francisco Bay Area. I love living in California and on the West Coast.

I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. I have also lived in Columbus (OH), Rochester (NY), and New York City.

I am a Graphic Designer and Marketing Specialist with over 20 years of professional experience. I have a deep understanding of consumer marketing, branding, and digital media.

As a Graphic Designer, I help clients with their visual communication strategy, graphic design, identity design, logo design, digital design, print design, photography, and more.

As a Marketing Specialist, I help clients with their marketing strategy, brand strategy, web strategy, social media strategy, content strategy, copy writing, and editing.

I also have experience in traditional retail, sales, and customer service. I worked at brick and mortar stores as a shift manager, store clerk, and stock clerk.

Education

I graduated with honors from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) with a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, and concentrations in Interactive Media Design and Digital Publishing.

I also attended The Ohio State University. I left school after my father became terminally ill with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. He died when I was 19 years old.

I frequently took art classes for students K-12 at the Cleveland Institute of Art.

I am a visual thinker. I completed a 3 year Gifted and Talented Education for 6th-8th grade at Beachwood City Schools.

I started drawing and creating art when I was a young child in the Seventies. I started designing with pixels on computers as a kid in the Eighties.
