For a few weeks now I’ve been working on my design portfolio, resume & cover letter. Since the closing of Plaid Again I have gone full swing back into the world of art & design, and I’m really excited about it. I’ve taken on a number of freelance design gigs that are basically portfolio boosters, but projects I really want to do.
I know I’ve told the story 100 times to close friends, but when I got out of college my heart just wasn’t into my work, and it showed. It was only a few months after Sept. 11th (I graduate in Dec. 2001) and only a few years after dad had died. Being 21 and confused about the world, I just couldn’t get my head completely into any design or even art. I tried numerous options but nothing worked. It was in August, 2004 that I uprooted my life and moved to San Francisco, hoping a major change would help me find my way.
Now, 11 and a half years after graduating from Art School, I’m really into making art again. Design projects, custom lettering, illustration, drawing, and woodworking to name a few. I gathered up my most recent design and production work and put it together into an online portfolio here:

I’ll be adding new work as projects are completed. The next project I’ll be finishing will be a promotional design for Square State Skate. I’ll post it here as well as on my portfolio once it is ready for your viewing pleasure.
