This is an abridged history of my life in design. I've only hit the highlights, which should be enough to blow your mind, but not melt your screen.

Experience
Art Director
cs2 advertising 2008–Present
My current gig. A great place to work and develop my skills beyond business to
business marketing and into more consumer advertising. Since accepting the position
at cs2 this past year I have had forrays into TV, radio, and continued to refine
my online advertising skills. Plus there's a basketball hoop out back, that's
awesome.
Art Director
inferno 2004-2008
Ah, the salad days. I learned more from my time at inferno than any of the years
prior. The horizontal hierarchy meant tons of responsibility
right from the start. I was able to hone my skills in nearly every area of design
and now laugh at the amateurish and inefficient work from my past (this includes
the layout I did last week).
