From being part of a team that branded a 53 ft. exhibit trailer to designing user interface icons, I have worked as a graphic designer on a range of projects that have included editorial publications, product catalogues, a coffee-table book of Jazz photography and corporate events. I've collaborated on industry campaigns pertaining to life sciences, transportation & mobility, aerospace and manufacturing. Graphic design was preceeded by my interest in photography.
While I strive to communicate information and ideas with clarity, consistency and imagination, photography is about experiencing a singular moment of connection with the world around me and using the camera to create a record of that emotive experience that can be relived through the photographic print. Nature serves as an endless source for aesthetic and emotional exploration. My work has been exhibited in the United States and is part of the collection of artworks aboard the MS Koningsdam. I live and work in Rhode Island.
