Biography
As an artist for the past 30 years, my experience has been in many various forms of graphic design, from screen printing in high school to commercial advertising with ad agencies all over the world.My passion however, lies with technical fashion, product design and apparel graphics. I have worked with A-list & top shelf brands. I have extensive experience and knowledge with design and development in the Action Sports, and Motor Sports market(s).
From hi-end motocross riding gear to full graphic helmet turns. Innovative race glove design to creating graphic wraps for a full fleet of Hydroplane tour vehicles. Wet & dry suit design for the water sports market, to hand made prototype toy & character design. All of which focus on GRAPHICS with a harmonious blend of design, function and innovation with today’s technology.
