Welcome to my personal web site. On this page you will find a brief overview of my professional work experience and a few portfolio pieces that I will be updating on a regular basis. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.

Media is evolving and having a passion for media and design, I believe it is my job to evolve with it. I strive to continuously learn new skills and techniques in order to stay current and provide the best service posible to my clients. I work in an positive environment where best practices are continuously being re-evaluated and discovered. There are always new and exciting ways to connect with your audience and, in turn, have your audience connect with you.

My interests in new media have expanded beyond my daily professional career to entrepreneurial endeavors. My current project, Oakley Hall Design is a company focused on the strategic implementation of corporate identity, web presence and marketing reach through content management systems, social networking, variable data and analytics. The recent boom of online marketing technologies has enabled Oakley Hall Design to successfully expand its client base internationally.
