Bachelor in Fine Arts - California College of the Arts
Master's Degree in Fine Arts – Mass. College of Art
After graduate school, I spent the next few years drawing, and showing my work in gallery and museum shows

I have work in the permanent collection of the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, MA.

I have taught design, both graphic and web at; Mass. College of Art, Brandeis University, Emmanuel College and the New England Institute of Art.

I first discovered the web as an outgrowth of another project.

I had written a book for young children about adoption. There were drawings, and spaces within the drawings for people to put family pictures into, to personalize it for every family that uses it to tell thier story to thier children. It became clear that the way to do this was to self-publish and sell it on the web.

It's still online. click on the image below to see the book, and all of the pages:
                

That's how the adventure began, and how one art form begat another.

I've spent the past 10 years designing websites, working with very interesting people, and teaching web design, both informally, as I consider educating my clients to be an important part of the process, and formally at a number of Boston area colleges. (Mass. College of Art, Brandeis University, New England Institute of Art & Design)

That's the nutshell.
Underlying all of this is a love of the visually interesting and well-designed, and throughout my carreer, it's been my main focus.  When I begin a website, I first get an understanding of what my client wants the site to say, so that I can create the initial look, which is what makes the first impression, and draws people in.
That's the effect, and function of good design – to bring the viewer in to what you have to say and that's what I keep in mind as I work.
