Since my childhood I have had the desire to create -- from old atari games to websites. It is what I have come to love. I have an undying interest in creating something that catches someones eye, makes them remember, and most of all, makes them want to come back. The productions on this site reflect my true passion for the art of web design, motion design, sound design, and music.

My freelance work has allowed me to exercise my passion for graphic, motion, and sound design while working directly with clients and exceeding their needs. Working from concept to finished product has allowed me to grow both creatively and professionally – understanding the entire production process.

In Winter of 2009, I completed my Bachelor of Science in Digital Art with a minor in Music from the University of Oregon. I was involved in collaborative projects where working efficiently with a team was paramount to the project’s success. Effective planning and work flow practices have enabled me to tackle large projects under strict deadlines.
