Description:

Creativist: Specializing in custom art and design for web, mobile and print mediums. I have over ten years experience in design and direction for both web and print. Over the years, I have worked as both art and creative director in advertising, journalism and new media on the East and West Coasts, as well as the Rocky Mountains. I am an expert at Adobe Creative Suite programs such as Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign, and have created dynamic two dimensional character animation in Flash. Other web 2.0 specialties include HTML, CSS, Golive and Dreamweaver, among others. I have worked for such agencies as J Walter Thompson, Schematic Interactive and Vanguard Direct, and I currently teach industry-related courses at New York University. I have a great understanding of visual art and how it applies to branding and marketing and possess the rare combination of artistic / technical skill, and the charisma needed to effectively lead a team and sell ideas to clients.
