With decades of making images and artwork, I have an intimate understanding of composition and color that I love applying to modern design projects. I’ve designed for print and web, and managed campaigns for political groups and universities.

I love micro-managing typography and layout details on the screen, but I also know how to find shortcuts when deadlines approach and everything needs to be put together in the real world. I’ve installed exhibits in galleries and public spaces, and worked with print-shops and vendors to find the best solutions for every project.

I’ve created websites for many of my own projects, but I’ve also designed sites for universities and organizations. I believe in a holistic approach to web design—using my background in fine art to make beautiful layouts and graphics, while hand-coding custom themes and tinkering with the latest CSS and Javascript features.

I’ve worked with a wide variety of audio/video gear during my years of academic and studio work. Whether working on a set full of expensive hardware, or improvising with consumer gear in the woods, I understand film and media production from beginning to end.

I’ve recorded live performances and scripted films, and always make the results shine with my obsession over post-production. With my wide-ranging skillset, I can produce animations, music, and other media to add to a project. I love mixing big soundtracks and finding the perfect edit for a video.

I’ve taught art and design at the Maryland Institute College of Art, Johns Hopkins, and the Pennsylvania State University. I’m currently teaching a collaborative, interdisciplinary course at Penn State that explores anatomical illustration through historical research, design projects, and lab work.

I specialize in all things digital, from web design to maker skills, though I’ve also led roaming workshops on wild fermentation that sent participants home with sourdough starters and homemade soda.
