Design Thinking
I am a Philadelphia-based designer and donut aficionado with a weakness for color coded pantries. I dream in balanced white spaces and think in key commands (who wouldn't want to Command+Z after eating a dozen donuts?). For me, design is a way of life, and as Kanye West said "sometimes I get emotional over fonts".
Having worked at creative agencies and in-house marketing teams, I have had the opportunity to fill many roles from strategizing all the way to video directing. I understand that in order to craft a well-designed piece, one must exhibit effective communication skills. Not exclusively in speaking skills, but most importantly in the ability to craft a compelling story, project a message, and persuade an audience solely through the use of colors, shapes, and space. Within these constraints is where I obsess over grid systems, perfect ratios, color theory, and typography in order to cater to the needs of the viewer. To me, graphic design is more than just aesthetics, but rather about the carefully made choices that make a piece become an experience through form and function. In simpler terms, I am an aesthete, a crafts(wo)man, and a problem solver. Like what you see? Let's talk!
