About

Some Things About Me

Upon graduating from the Maryland Institute College of Art with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, a Master of Arts in Teaching, and a Master of Arts in Digital, I spent 8 Years as a Director of Digital Solutions for the recruitment-advertising agency, Bernard Hodes Group. During that time in my career I fine-tuned my skills as a artist, manager, trainer and leading multimedia designer within the company.

Through the great efforts of the team of interactive consultants, designers and developers I assembled over the years, I have had the pleasure to work on an array of multimedia products for a diverse group of emerging businesses and fortune 500 companies. My experience includes work with such widely recognized companies as Sony, FedEx, Universal Studios, American Express, Home Depot, Bank of America, Lowe’s and more. Each product built was a unique client solution that pushed the knowledge and creativity of myself and my team.

In 2008 I started VisionKwest Media and built it on the premise that with every client, an opportunity exists to push the boundaries of design and technology, ensuring the delivery of a unique and progressive solution for each client, every time. I still hold true to that premise today.
