About Me

I began my career as a print designer in the late 90’s. In 2000, I jumped at the opportunity to work as a creative consultant for an Internet start-up in Silicon Alley. That experience helped fuel my interest for digital media and its potential to change the way we live our lives. Open source and social media have given everyday individuals the ability to innovate, be creative and make wiser decisions. I embrace this and support its growth as we continue to fade the lines between our online and offline worlds.

If you find what I have to share to be interesting, I welcome you to follow me on Twitter under the handle @Pixelbug. There, you’ll often see me having conversations about advertising, interactive design, mobile trends and social media. I also invite you to join my network on LinkedIn.com.
