Welcome to my personal portfolio. I try to update this seasonally (with very little curating involved). This is simply an archive of some of my favored projects sometimes spanning back over many years. I’m a multi-disciplinary designer. I have run design teams as an Art Director and I have worked solo, doing it all from concept and execution to production. I love living, working and raising a family in New York City. Originally from New Jersey, I moved to New York in 1998 to attend Parsons School of Design, where I teach classes every few semesters. I have worked in Branding, Broadcast, Sport and Fashion and am most interested in the work that intersects these and many other areas. When I get a free minute I am working on a calligraphy-based history of graffiti in America. It will be published through Gingko Press. Hopefully before the end of 2011.
