Formally trained in graphic design, I also studied art history and photography at a small liberal arts university in Missouri and Parsons School of Design in Paris. I got my professional start doing interactive and branding work in 1999 in San Francisco. After a few years, I got into the advertising side of things, and now enjoy working across many different disciplines.
