Creating beautiful, usable media and marketing is my passion.

I am a skilled media designer, marketer, and instructor with an entrepreneurial spirit. As an artist and a communicator, I enjoy the liberty to choose any media format and find fulfillment in all projects, whether it is Web, video, print or a mixture of mediums.

While teaching college and taking on several side projects, I have honed a devoted and unbreakable determination towards both life and career; and I love to use those qualities to help others claim their place on the Web in a beautiful and charming way.
