I am also fluent in Flash and Actionscript for motion graphics.

About

Hello and welcome to my portfolio. I am a UI designer based in the San Francisco Bay Area, building beautiful, user-friendly websites for cool business people. I also co-own Foliotwist, a website service geared towards helping artists sell their work online. I’m always interested in hearing about new projects, so drop me a line if you have something you’d like to discuss, or take a look at the services I offer.

The photo to the left depicts me in a short-lived role as sculptor of wood and metal for the project Ode, though I usually appear much geekier. I enjoy reading interesting books, relaxing with my wife, Sheena, traveling to exotic locales, and tinkering with gadgetry of all sorts. I am always interested in artistic collaborations, too.
