I don’t use cliche phrases like “I build things” or “I can’t function without a good cup of coffee.” Actually, I don’t even drink coffee. What I do is design for web and print, and code the front-end of beautiful websites like these.
Currently you can find me beautifying the web, one project at a time, at a recruitment ad agency working remotely from the Portland, Oregon area. I work on everything from responsive website design and code, digital and print design, branding, logo design, and responsive HTML emails.
When not at work, I keep myself busy playing the drums, shooting lomography (plastic cameras that use film), hiking around Portland, and reading. Fun fact about me, I've listened to every single album ranked in the book “1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.” Get in touch with me and see what I can do for your next project.

Design and front-end coding for responsive one page lead generation site for Genesis Physician Services. In just three months, the landing page had 631 new visitor sessions (a very strong showing for such a highly specialized audience), and the page was a recent industry award winner for being “attractive, approachable and providing a great overview of Genesis Physician and Practitioner Services."

I code within specifications for the various vendors that deliver the email, and assist with sending and tracking when needed.
Concept creation and art direction, based on a concept to highlight what makes Seton stand out for employees compared to other healthcare systems in the same area.
I came up with the initial "Exposure" concept and headlines, and designed a series of 3 ads for Covance's employment branding. The concept highlighted the science rather than the employee, so the equipment and tools while the employee is in the background and out of focus.

I shoot film (yes, you read that right) on a Diana F+, a plastic lomography camera. Here are some of my favorite shots. Partly because of the unpredictable camera and partly because of the wait for film to be developed, it's been a lot of fun experimenting and exploring the world with my camera.
