The man, the myth,
the designer.
I've been in the graphic design game for 25+ years. Early in my career I focused on software design and development mostly in the form of interactive CD-Roms. Remember those boys and girls? As the industry shifted to web-based media, so did I. Of course the foundation of everything has always been design so I'm very well versed in print, user interface, user experience and strategy.
The first 18 years of my career were spent at a small agency. We didn't have account execs, project managers or dedicated writers for many of our projects. That meant that I had to fill all of those roles myself a lot of times. Not going to say I knocked it out of the park every time in every role, but it did help me develop a fairly versatile set of skills over the years.
Outside of work, my wife and I are both about to take on a new title of “empty nester” when our youngest son goes off to college in the fall. We’ve spent the last four years running back and forth to Michigan to watch our daughter play soccer, but she’s graduating and heading off to optometry school so we’re going to have nothing but time to ourselves for the first time in about 22 years. I think I may have to pick up a new hobby. Any ideas?
I could keep going, but there's a pretty slim chance you've made it this far. If you did make all the way down here and want to know more about me, let's get together. I'd love to meet you for a pint, coffee or whatever your beverage of choice is.
