Oh, Hi There.

I'm a San Francisco-based graphic designer and illustrator with a focus in website and UI design. I've spent around ten years in the videogame industry, previously as a 3D artist and animator for PC games, and currently as the lead designer at 1UP.com, a major gaming news site.

At 1UP I oversee the editorial art process -- I produce original illustrations, create promotional units, wireframe and design mobile apps (a recent development), manage our junior artists and interns, and continue to refine and evolve the look and feel of the site itself. I'm also involved in branding and designing entertainment websites for our parent company, UGO.com.

Over the years I've covered the bases when it comes to design, serving a wide variety of clients in the publishing, fashion, and music industries. I have insane Photoshop skills, and solid knowledge of Flash and HTML/CSS. I have a strong background in research and quantitative analysis, including years of experience as an analyst at a market research firm. I've even published some academic papers about monkeys. On top of all that, I play a mean bass guitar and make an excellent cocktail.

In addition to hosting my portfolio and resume, this site will host a "blog" of sorts, where I can share my most recent art and design projects.
