I first began doing professional graphic design when I was 19 years old when a friend asked me to design a logo for her business. As a prolific artist in my youth, transitioning into the position of doing art professionally came naturally to me. I attribute this in large part to my early interest and exposure to anthropological thinking. In order to design something that communicates a message and speaks meaningfully to the intended audience, the designer must have some idea of what that audience values. While there are of course nuances between this and anthropology, broadly speaking, I have always found that graphic design is one way of conducting applied anthropology. This thinking, I have found, has served me well over the years. The numerous clients that I have worked with and that continue to seek me out for what I can contribute, I feel, is evidence of that thinking.
Over the years, I have been involved in design projects that have meaning for myself and my clients. They have added to the portfolio for review. While all these may no longer be in circulation, they demonstrate where I have been over the years and the repertoire of the work I have had the pleasure to be involved in. Items will be added over time.
