I have created websites, microsites, interactive demos, packaging, identities and print collateral for a wide variety of clients in industries including technology, finance, media, retail, arts, education and publishing. As an early entrant to the digital design world in 1995, I have designed dozens of e-commerce/transactional, corporate, data-driven, rich media and promotional websites. In addition, I have developed application interfaces and online advertising. Over the years I've worked with numerous clients, from global Fortune 500 companies to nonprofits, such as Apple, Bank of America, College Board, Discovery Channel, Disney, Intel, Janus, Lands' End, Nestlé, Oracle, Pottery Barn and Symantec.
