I believe creativity is a way of seeing the world. I enjoy weaving the creative with the practical, partnering with the client to see needs met with creative solutions. I am a web designer and graphic artist, father, husband, and friend from a nation down under …. New Zealand.
I enjoy the creative process, solving problems, and collaborating with others on a given task. I am a self starter who enjoys working with others in creating and producing quality, unique products. I also believe character is an integral part of work life. In my work as a web designer I like the space between a robust backend and a beautiful frontend.
I first came to the USA to work with a non-profit organization during which time I traveled internationally having visited over 20 nations. My responsibilities included management, mentorship, extensive problem solving in difficult situations, communication, cross-cultural knowledge, and a diverse set of computer related skills including web design and development, video production, and printed media. These experiences have given me a unique view of the world and provided ample opportunities to problem solve and understand people.
Together with my wife, I have three beautiful kids. I enjoy meaningful conversation over a nice glass of New Zealand sauvignon blanc and playing soccer with my kids at our local park.
