The smArtist

Finding the perfect balance between the art and the science of web design.

My Story

I love design in all of its forms — graphic, web, apparel, advertising and illustration. I’ve been accused of being a source of renewable energy for the shop, which comes from my enthusiasm about attacking new challenges and perfecting the details, no matter the size of the task.

I’m active in AIGA and spend some of my free time illustrating and painting, although I also can be found enjoying a good beer with friends.

Odd Job

Based on level of FAILure, I’d say bartender.

On the Nightstand

iPad, ibuprofen, water

Guilty Pleasure

Greatest Fear

Fear itself?
