Graphic Design
A Portfolio of Work
I began my focus on graphic design in the late 90s when I worked for the US Army as a Psyop Specialist. Since then, I’ve freelanced design work and have worked as an in0house graphic designer for organizations.
Metalwork & Sculpture
Fine Art and Metalsmithing
Metalwork is my antidote to moving bits and bytes and pixels around all day. Applying heat and force to move and shape metal is my happy place. I create this work under the name Far North Dry Goods Studio.
