I am a designer, musician, art handler, and museum professional residing in Rochester, NY.
My specialties lie in art direction, exhibition and graphic design, custom typography, and texture design. I have over fifteen year’s worth of experience in design and museum work. In my current role as Senior Creative and Design Specialist at the Memorial Art Gallery (Rochester’s preeminent art museum), I help bring the curator’s vision to life in our galleries, and manage the museum’s visual branding. I oversee all the design needs for an exhibition with branding, spatial design, gallery ground plans, art layout, color choice, typography, lighting, and implementation and installation of all graphics. I also direct the design of our marketing materials and public-facing design and graphics needs.
My other skills include publication design, print pre-press and printing, image editing, sound recording and editing, and video. I am also an art handler. My area of expertise lies in works on paper and books mostly, with experience in framing, mount making, installing, and packing and crating.
For fun, and sometimes professionally, I play guitar and drums in bands, and hang out with my wife and our little dog, Lola. I collect records and guitars.
