a little about me
"The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves." - Carl Jung
ResumeI have been designing for over 10 years for various companies, from freelance to corporations. I received my bachelor of fine arts in 2001 from Colorado State University. I have worked for various marketing companies and continue to do so, designing anything and everything from Dansko shoe ads and various product packaging to email blasts and e-commerce sites.
I like to get out and experience nature, tour museums, attend artist gatherings, paint, write creatively and have fun. Inspiration is found by filling the noggin and I want to keep my noggin full. So I read as much as possible, take on new adventures in life and just enjoy all the little things around me. I never know when something in life will give me that spark of inspiration, so I try to be prepared to capture that moment somehow, either with photography, a sketch book, or iPhone. I will figure some creative way to remember it.
