About

I am a conceptual artist, web designer and graphic artist with over ten years of interactive experience providing creative services, art direction and graphic design to small businesses and corporate art departments. Through hands-on, personalized design and development, I offer a unique blend of creative vision and technical expertise to a wide range of projects. By combining business strategy, creative design, user experience, and technological expertise, I specialize in helping companies use the online outlet and print media as a marketing tool, and design solutions to complement your business and your brand. My goal is to transfer my passion for design to your product and create a unique experience that resonates with your audience.

Influenced by comic books, Japanese street fashion, hardware stores and the monsters living underneath my bed, curiosity drives much of my work. My art is pretty whimsical, and I encourage looking at the silliness that surrounds us. I believe imagination is a superpower we all possess, and encourage stepping out of grown up life for a moment to recall a child's eager fascination with even the most mundane. I see the world in color, and like to think there's a part of all of us that wishes that piggies could fly and spiders could have a swell chat on a rainy afternoon. If it is indeed an artist's job to hold up a mirror to the world, I would like to use the mirrored panels from a circus fun house.

I've worked with various mediums including painting, installation and wearable art. Lately, I've been working more with metal because I enjoy the malleable nature of it, as well as the fact that I get to play with bad-ass welding gear. Current interests include exploring our diminishing relationship with nature as we become more reliant on technology, playing with antique clock parts, trying to find the perfect quack box and Beartato.

I received a BA in Art History from UCLA, and currently live, work and scheme in downtown Los Angeles. My favorite color is "awesome".
