Understanding the Digital Revolution

Fundamentally, I am a New Media artist; I thrive in the world of internet media, rely on digital tools, and excel when circumvention of the established convention is required.  I thoroughly believe in the democratization of media and desire to participate in the digital media revolution.

Personal Influences

While design is an ever-evolving formulation of the mood of the moment, there are certain predispositions from which design characteristics are derived. My design preference hinges on the “less is more” phenomenon but teeters on the edge of “more is more.” I do draw from the Bauhaus tradition with a strong tendency towards European imagery. In the world of film, substantial impressions have been made by Saul Bass, Luc Besson, Alfred Hitchcock, and Fritz Lang. German Expressionism and the Cinéma du look are constant flirtations.
