I'm a Cleveland-based designer who has been in the freelance game for over 5 years. During that time, I've worked with some great clients locally and nationally.

I got my start as a kind of "jack-of-all-trades" designer and illustrator, but soon realized the saying "Jack of all trades, master of none," rings true. I worked with an author in Georgia to develop a series children's books. I helped build a full-fledged trading card game with a team scattered across the country. I designed signage and takeaways for a budding gaming convention centered in Texas. I designed logos for animal rescue shelters nationwide (a personal soft-spot) as well as a surprisingly wide variety of other small businesses.

Each project was a great learning experience and resulted in varying levels of success, but my focus was far too scattered to have any impact. My personal passions have been in puzzle-solving and building things from scratch. Web design, with the ability to see what I'm building and versatility to make anything virtually a reality (ha! pun), seems to be a perfect fit!

I have grown to love nearly everything about design and would like to think that passion shows in every project I take on.
