HELLO
I’m an award-winning art director and graphic designer with extensive and diverse experience in branding, advertising, publishing, and multi-media campaigns. I've also done editing on projects and copywriting for national campaigns and worked on planning, shooting, editing, and graphics for television (including programs that have been broadcast in multiple languages) and for the web.
With the vision of a creative director and the technical skills of a production designer and high-end retoucher, I can move projects along seamlessly from concept to completion while also keeping a watchful eye on schedule and budget. I’m an expert in print production, but I like all media, and I'm always thinking of projects as multi-media campaigns.
I worked with J. Walter Thompson and other agencies in New York City and ran my own shop in Vancouver, Tokyo, and Osaka. I’ve had the good fortune to work on pojects for major brands (AT&T, Brisk, DeBeers, Kellogg’s, Merill Lynch, Rolex, Marriott, Lexus, Panasonic, Hitachi, Takeda, etc.), but I've also done great work for small clients.
LET’S TALK
I recently moved back to the U.S. after spending six years in Japan, where I worked on international projects, produced a documentary film, and taught design and communications courses at three colleges.
​
I thrive working on complex projects (scientific content, intense revisions, multi-language projects, annual reports, video production, etc.), and I work well with all kinds of clients (government agencies, manufacturers, industrial engineers, biotech researchers, Buddhist priests, etc.).
I’m self-motivated and energetic and work well on my own, but I’m also an incredible team player. I always bring a great attitude and a keen sense of humor to the work.
​
I bring a lot of skills to the table, and I love taking on new challenges. And I look forward to working with you.
