Skills

You can't be a designer for very long if you're not able to wear many different hats along the way. My work has run the gamut from branding to packaging to beer steins to mobile apps. Every project presents unique challenges — being adaptable and continually learning new skills and tools allows me to meet those challenges and to get the job done.
