I design work that is both entertaining and intuitive to use, a combination of visual fun and UI best practices. Develops site standards and style guides for large CMS driven websites.

From online game design to watercolor painting, photo manipulation to UI/UX, my guiding focus has always been to making visually enticing and entertaining work.

I spent 8 years at MTV bringing that mindset to work for one of the largest entertainment companies on the planet. In the morning I’d be designing an interface from Andy Milonakis’ big head, in the afternoon I’d be drawing wicked whips for a Pimp My Ride online game, and in the evening I’d nuance the UI for the MTV.com home page. Throughout it all my focus was clear: creating a dazzling, stylish and intuitive experience for young people on-line.

I’ve been a freelance artist and interface designer since 2009 and continue to keep an open mind and a steady hand. I illustrated a children’s book in watercolor for Hoboken gallery owner Lana Santorelli while simultaneously designing an online game and animation for Ezra Jack Keat’s acclaimed children’s book The Snowy Day. I designed a grungy, sexy web site for the radio show Loveline with Dr. Drew while drawing freaky nudes at a Hoboken art gallery.

By understanding painting I can deliver an exceptional site design for a famous collage artist. By drawing the human figure I can deliver anatomically correct video game characters. It’s through the combination of art, craft and technology that I find clear focus and create exceptional, visually exciting work.
