After graduating from The University of Oregon in 1986, I started my career in Boston working for a small environmental design firm. I had a lot of fun there but ended up missing the West Coast.

I moved to LA where I had even more fun working for a small ad firm and a couple of entertainment design companies, working on video packaging for MGM, Paramount and Sony. 

Yet the Northwest was calling me, so in 1992 I moved to Seattle and have felt at home ever since. I immediately starting working in the Creative Departments at software companies Aldus and Adobe Systems, eventually going out on my own. 25 years later, I now work on one project at a time, splitting my time between that and my family, gardening, and cooking.
