FEATURED WORK
My creative spirit comes alive in the digital realm. With nimble fingers flying across the keyboard, I craft clear experiences out of nothing but ones and zeroes.
The year was 1995 and I discovered the internet for the first time in my High School Library.
But it wasn't until 1997, when I first recognized the immense potential of the internet and coding as a transformative medium for artistic expression, I have been committed to exploring the digital landscape. While I had been creating art prior to this discovery, it was the internet—along with groundbreaking software like Photoshop—that fundamentally reshaped my creative process and professional trajectory. My background in music initially led me to design projects for my own band, which soon expanded to other artists and, eventually, the record industry. This progression naturally evolved into website design and broader digital artistry. While compensation was minimal in the early stages, my passion for the craft far outweighed financial considerations. Over time, I pursued larger clients, secured more ambitious contracts, and took on increasingly complex projects. With over 15 years of experience, I have contributed to a diverse range of initiatives, some of which led to long-term engagements with companies where I refined my expertise across multiple disciplines. This journey also introduced me to video production, an extension of my skill set that further enhanced my creative capabilities. Throughout my career, I have led teams, managed video production and editing, and overseen photography sessions across industries such as publishing, music, technology, and education. My primary objective has always been to ensure that brands, products, and corporate identities not only align with their intended vision but also distinguish themselves in competitive markets. I take great pride in elevating ideas—whether through web presence, design, or social engagement—to position my clients as industry leaders. Rather than settling for the status quo, my goal is to help businesses set new standards and establish themselves as innovators within their respective fields.
