About
I'm currently open for freelance or full-time opportunities. I’m formerly the Creative director and co-founder of Ario, an augmented reality software company headquartered in Norfolk, VA, and have been for more than 4 years. My primary responsibilities are product design/3D design.
While my primary function was product design and 3D; my experience was heavily rooted in digital layout and design; and my degree was focused on creating game-ready assets and level design. My trade, while on active duty in the Navy, was video editing, magazine layout and design, photography and journalism.
