Creative Director
Quiddities

As Creative Director at Quiddities I helped conceptualize, plan and build this (SCD+IC) website with an amazing collaborative team. Other recent work includes designing websites and print graphics for the University of CA at Berkeley, Seagate, the University of CA, Western State Design and Cottonfield Organic Clothing.

I am thrilled to bring skills I have learned as a community organizer to many of our latest projects including: (soon to launch) Radio Engage - with local public radio station KUSP, and I Spot Compassion - with Children's Hospice and Palliative Care Coalition. This experience has influenced my work on the SCD+IC website as well. I am discovering the power of social networking tools and how they help accelerate communication within communities.

Finally, my great passion is drawing and painting which has an incredible influence on all my work as a Creative Director. I live and breathe color and will gladly debate the virtues of a good cerulean blue.
