I'm a web and print designer and freelance illustrator, at home in code and on paper. I enjoy the challenges of designing and building websites: figuring out what people want to do (especially if it's different things for different users), building the visual language that will get them what they need, making it pretty. I like working out a nifty little piece of jQuery that will provide guidance or filter information, simplify development, or just spiff things up. I love a good data visualization project. I appreciate it when IE behaves.

But I also enjoy print work, with its physicality and relative typographic freedom (though this gap is narrowing). The narrative tends to be more linear (whether it's actual fiction, or the flow of a marketing headline down to the call to action), and there's nothing better than a good story. I appreciate the feel of ink on paper, and if it's oily, smelly ink coming off a hand-turned drum, even better.

I've been working for a number of years in both fields, adding a degree in illustration along the way. Take a look around, and download my resume if you'd like.
