Hi. I'm an art director with tons of experience and I'm looking for freelance or permanent opportunities in the DC area. I bring with me many years of New York agency based experience in most aspects of advertising, both interactive and traditional, and I'm looking to share my skills with you.
Please, take a moment to look around to see what I have done and imagine what I can do for you.

Microsoft State & Local Government Banners
What do you do when you have a series of 10+ banner concepts that need to be produced dirt cheap and on a tight turn-around? Template template template. This series was my idea into how to create a campaign while maintaining economy. Working with Acount Services we set the client's expectations: Change two variables - image & text, adjust for timing and a new banner is born. Economy is an impressive teacher.
BellSouth - Nationwide Service

Private Contract - oil on masonite
And now for something completely different.
I studied traditional drawing and painting in college. These paintings were done for a client as private commission. They are portraits of their beautiful Himalayan cat Nikki & their Persian Chopin. These are among my most favorite paintings ever.
Experience
With over 14 years of solid agency-based experience in direct marketing, web/interactive and general advertising I have a healthy base of experience to draw from. From traditional design and art direction (concepting, layouts, photo shoots, color correction, on-press) to interactive mediums (web, banners, rich media, e-mail, DVD), I bring with me an understanding of process, form, function and a focus of brand building/message/identity at the core of my creative. Specifically, my experiences have focused on the integration/implementation of brand and campaign elements across the multiple channels of print/mail/collateral/web.
Other strengths
I am also classically trained in drawing and painting. I'm a hobbyist furniture maker; designing/drafting/building my own creations. I have also studied baroque cello.
