My full portfolio, 11" x 17" pages, PDF format. (Large file.)

A variety of compelling and challenging projects to tackle, so that I keep gaining skill, breadth, and maturity as a designer and a professional.
A workspace that fosters concentration, and provides great tools to work with.
A culture of respect, camaraderie, autonomy, trust, and honesty.
A team that welcomes the offbeat. More syncopation makes for better jazz; more polymath geeks makes for better lunchtime conversations.
To know that I am valued for both the quality of my work and the particular spark that I bring to our team and our clients.
A leader who goes to bat for their people, builds esprit du corps, and who encourages and invests in us as individuals.
Colleagues that inspire each other to do better and aim higher.
To be mentored and to mentor in return.
A company and manager that knows that for us to do our best work, we also need to explore, learn, rest and play.
