SKILLS


WHAT I DO

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 * VISUAL DESIGN
   
   Make stuff look awesome – great design can be clean and modern or wild and
   crazy, but it has to be on brand. And always sweat the details.


 * DIGITAL STRATEGY
   
   Ever evolving technology, new social platforms, new devices, constantly
   morphing standards . . . you have to live, breathe, and sleep digital to
   understand this landscape. And as much as metrics can provide insight and
   answers, digital marketing is part science and part art. Luckily, I draw from
   over a decade and a half of experience creating digital creative for some of
   the world's top brands.


 * CREATIVE CONCEPTING
   
   "The Big Idea". It's what resonates in consumers minds and what separates the
   hum-drum from brands that become icons. It earns social buzz, brand loyalty,
   and drives sales. I believe that any project has the potential to become
   something truly amazing – if you can look past the easy and comfortable
   solutions, and you're willing to bleed for the love of the project.


 * PROJECT MANAGEMENT
   
   No mater the project, it's got to get done right and it's got to be up on
   time. Devising a clear path to get there and keeping everyone organized and
   accountable is where the type-A side of me comes in, even if nothing ever
   follows a straight line.


 * UI/UX
   
   I believe that a clear and empathetic understanding of your users and their
   objectives should always inform design decisions. From informational site, to
   highly functional application, to immersive games, there's always an optimal
   balance of experience and usability. Regardless of where your project falls
   on that continum, navigation and controls should be something the end user
   never has to think about.


 * VISUAL DESIGN
   
   Make stuff look awesome – great design can be clean and modern or wild and
   crazy, but it has to be on brand. And always sweat the details.
