About Me
I am an American designer born in Italy, raised in Texas and living in Germany. As an admirer of all things visual I have always been drawn to design and the visual arts. My current position keeps me primarily focused on postproduction and digital art – with occasional touches of graphic design, illustration and art direction – in editorial and commercial photography.
This conscious deviation from traditional communication design further develops my ability to incorporate the refined compositional elegance of a photographer into my work. This helps keep my portfolio fresh and experiences varied compared to what I might have achieved had I followed a more traditional path, and becomes a tremendous asset when reapplied to my passions in editorial and graphic design. In this capacity, I strive to instill my work with originality and freshness, hopefully distinguishing it from today's somewhat uninspired, trend-following design climate.
