About
I am a designer first, web developer second & have developed passions for both typography & user interface. These are passions I apply tirelessly & daily to my work.
I have been working in the Kansas City area with clients including KC Starlight Theatre & Capital Retention Group, among many others. My career started primarily in print & I have been focusing more on interactive & mobile interface design, front-end development, social media & technology trend spotting. The variety has been invigorating & provided the opportunity to work on a wide range of creative fields, including interface design, Flash, iPhone applications, e-commerce & Search Engine Optimization.
