What About Me
As the Senior Graphic Designer in the University Publications department at RIT and an Adjunct Professor of Graphic Design at RIT I'm quite busy. I am a graduate of Graphic Design [B.F.A.] from RIT, Professional Studies in marketing, communication and information technology [M.S.] from RIT and currently studying Graphic Design [M.F.A.] at SCAD. I have enjoyed an enthusiastic and dynamic career as a graphic designer over the past decade. With my professional work primarily in academia I have had an opportunity to appreciate the higher education learning environment. Being artistic is something I’ve always enjoyed. As a youngster I constantly drew to mimic the things I saw. I can remember as a young boy I tested my artistic abilities by drawing Tippy the Turtle and Mr. Blunderbuss, the famous art test mascots of the Art Instruction School. That same artistic drive is what gives me the incentive to continue my artistic passions through creativity and design. When not busy in academics I enjoy family, fitness, cooking, and hockey. I also enjoy fly-fishing, the art of fly tying, and video games. I plan to travel the world visiting all the wondrous places of mystical and eclectic fables. Who's with me?
My Design Philosophy
When it comes to the relationship between form and content in graphic design—or all design for that matter—I feel strongly that we once lived in a world where graphic design was about the form of communication. Meaning, what form does it take—as in, form follows function. That analogy is still true in todays design process however present-day graphic design is much more. Designer need to consider the form and content in present design without excluding the context in which we are designing. Factors such as socioeconomics, education, psychographics, etc. are just as meaningful in design—if not more—as typography, grid structure, imagery, color, and so on. Without context, content can not completely communicate the message with full intent. In a statement, design can create a purposeful creation of value in a society.
My Mission
In my life and work I strive to convey a deepness of thought and respect. I have always been passionate about being an artist and a designer. An essential aspect throughout my life is to demonstrate insightfulness and attentiveness. I Approach leadership, communication, creativity and design as one cohesive profession, as well as a powerful tool for cultural drive. I am committed to remain professional and committed to creativity through the exchange of innovative ideas and resourceful information.
