Flickr and an Update to the Portfolio Page

November 23rd, 2008 · 5 Comments

Well, today I set up my Flickr page. This is actually my second attempt at Flickr: the first time I used it was for sharing photos while living in Germany. While that worked great for family and friends, I didn’t keep it up once I moved back. So now my second attempt is going […]

My good friend, Jen, just let me know that she finished updating her Portfolio Blog this week. Jen’s awesome to collaborate with: we partnered on a lot of projects while working together (including the below project for Hallmark that I posted about several months ago).

Consorting with the Enemy…or, Learning to Embrace PowerPoint

August 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

AIGA Profile Updates

June 15th, 2008 · No Comments

Well, I’ve been slow to post something lately, but it’s been for a good cause: I’ve been busy this past week updating my profile on AIGA’s site. It’s not 100% finished yet—I’m still taking pictures of my latest work—but it’s almost there! Even more exciting is that once everything is photographed, I can continue working […]
