Art Director | Artist | Illustrator | Graphic Designer | Web Designer | Video Artist

Art has been a consistent part of my life for the last the ten years. The design of this website is centered around the key concept of why I chose art as my profession. The sketchbook represents the conceptual process of an image. The sketchbook is an open forum where ideas flourish. In my personal work it represents a journal of ideas and feelings. For my profession it is my effort project another's desire and conceptions.

My tribute to the sketchbook is a reiteration to my creation's value. Remind myself to take on a project solely based on its raw concept. It is my job to find the resources to complete a vision. Without that drive a vision remains an idea and not a reality.
