Hi!

I'm not going to write in the third person. I want to connect with you on a personal level. This, I think, is what communication is all about and I don't want to write here as if I have somehow removed myself from the process. Both graphic design and writing are expressions of communication but you might think it is odd that I describe myself as both a graphic designer and a writer. In fact many graphic designers write... and they write very well. We can look to such luminaries as Milton Glaser, Steven Heller, Stefan Sagmeister, Michel Beruit and many others for examples of this. So it seems to make sense that someone who communicates with visual elements would also embrace the written word.

Contact me.
