Career Direction
I have practical experience in many fields, including web design, animation, art direction, illustration, print, photography, video/audio production, and music composition. Having a wide-range of media experience, I enjoy using many angles to solve problems. I'd like to think of myself as something more than just a "jack of all trades." I believe creative work should be fun, even at its most serious and stressful times.
