Looking Forward

My primary goal is to work in a forward-looking environment where I can engage my passions, apply myself with confidence, and yet still be challenged to achieve greater heights. It is important to me that I work with interesting people who share my passions for broadening horizons and exploring new ideas.

My mission as a professional is to help interesting people clearly communicate their ideas and their ideals through graphic design, writing and other modes of communication.

Etcetera

I'm comfortable writing and editing copy, and in a pinch I can take photos too.

At ease with the de rigueur list of graphics applications (InDesign, Quark XPress, Illustrator, Photoshop), Flash and some other goodies are within my grasp as well. I am also capable of extensive Macintosh system maintenance.
