I believe that good design should convey the client's branding in one glance and that a well designed and organized Web site draws the visitor's eye to follow intuitive and clear navigation.

My traditional art training began in NYC's High School of Music and Art. I have a BA in Art History, an Associates Degree in Visual Art and a Certificate in Computer Art with an emphasis in multimedia and animation. My design career began over a decade ago working as a Design Director in New York City, managing a staff of artists to create home decorative textiles.
