BACKGROUND ~ |
I have been been designing and creating print/web and video
projects for the past 7 years.
I specialize in the creation of media elements for non profit
organizations, small businesses, artists, community based and positive
action projects.
After 3 years of post-secondary schooling on Multi-media
design, website creation, graphics, video, special effects,
3D animation and broadcasting and years of experience working for web design and production companies, I am anticipating more amazing
projects in the future. If anyone is in need of CD art/graphics,
photography, music video/recording and special FX/animations
or needs to design and maintain a web site contact
me and we might get the chance to produce something
inspiring.

green~space
I've been inspired to create a source for information
for sustainable living practices. I have designed this web
site and I am now adding information on housing, food, energy
and transportation - and how we can make
simple lifestyle
changes to live with the earth instead of against it.
Please let me know if you like the design and what you think
should be included on the site. I could use some writers. Contact me if interested in participating.
