Phoenix Design Week 2009 was the inaugural celebration of the Phoenix design community. It included a variety of exhibitions, open houses, workshops, presentations, activities, films and other community-growth oriented events.

As the Director of Promotions, I collaborated with all executive leaders and volunteers to define, strategize, and execute the ideas that supported the efforts of PHXDW. I also concepted the Phoenix Design Poster Contest, assisted with the early developments of PHX Layers, and art directed the development of all printed collateral and design for Phoenix Design Week. The new connections and experience I gained from PHXDW was epic, and I certainly look forward to working at this level again.

I help oversee the graphic design and interactive components of large-scale global website builds / maintenance and updates, feature product sites, strategic promotions, giveaways, and corporate communications.

I have had some some very unique opportunities to work on projects for some of the world's most influential artists and companies, including; Eddie Van Halen, Eric Clapton and The Rolling Stones, Warner Brothers, MTV, and Toyota, just to name a few.

From concept-to-code-to-completion, I assume responsibility for design integrity, cross-browser compatibility, and general quality control for all global web design work produced for the company.

I occasionally teach graphic design courses in the School of Design at Arizona State University. My course introduced first year students to the fundamental principles of graphic design in preparation for further study. Students explored and discovered a largely unknown phenomena in the interaction of form including two and three dimensions, introduction to color theory , and visual line studies.

My teaching approach was to let the student decide the outcome, while my purpose was to guide their own self discoveries in visual problem solving while strengthening their design vocabulary and rhetoric. The experiences have been unmatched, and I wish to continue my experiences in teaching design.
