WE CAN
BE
HEROES

I feel that designing is more than strapping a logo on our chest and running out into battle. The importance of having a firm grip on who clients are as well as myself is vital to establishing an identity for both, them, and the integrity of the team I'm working with. This is why I dig deep inside my tool belt to distuinguish between my strengths and weaknesses when approaching each and every project. For that provides awareness of what I have to offer each task at hand, and shows me who is the best suited team mate for each specific need. And when afforded the opportunity, I thorughly enjoy collaboration over a fortress of solitude.

I also stand behind the ideaology that it's not only what we can do, but why we are doing it that matters most. This is what differentiates great design from the mediocre. I firmly beleive that every aesthetic element should be accompanied by a strong conceptual reason for it to exist. It only makes sense and otherwise makes none. With this mentality being deeply instilled into the core of my education, I know that it would be greatly justified to add me to your league of heroes.

DESIGN
HERO

The many different life experiences and environmental settings in which I have encountered throughout my life, have lead me to have a variation of personality traits and mind sets that give me the abilty to see in perspective. It's through perspective that I am able to place myself into the shoes of others to discover and visually convey ideas and messages, based upon the specific needs of the target audience, to fullfill and exceed client expectations. It is those for whom I design and stand for in my strive for excellence.
