Seventeen years, as a freelance creative and instructor to creatives, define my persistence to be an inspiring visual communicator. In my work and teaching, I'm determined to inject "soul" to the standardized computer-generated design, reintroducing a hand-made character and collage. I apply my experience to forward-thinking, creatively challenging projects.
During the first 10 years of my career, solely doing Illustration—from editorial to corporate assignments—I gained a great knowledge of the "visual communication" business. After that, a shift in focus in my creativity opened me to design and teaching.
Primarily educated as an editorial Illustrator with a tendancy torward fine art, I love to work conceptually, engaging in the creative process, with others, and get to innovative solutions with a clear understanding of the project goals and other set parameters.
My experience as an instructor has shaped my skills to inspire a group; and get inspired in the process. Just as I teach my students, "approach projects as if it was a game, play with the challenges and push to create something great".
Design doesn't always call for something handmade or collaged, but whenever appropriate I relegate the "cookie-cutters" to the closet.
Also, I cultivate an on-going practice of art work and regularly participate in exhibitions. In May 08, I curated my first show; the catalog is available for review on the home page of this website. Samples of my fine art are available upon request.
