ndos
Like many bands currently using Myspace.com as a means of promotion, Christine Atallah and the Bassalindos is no different. The band needed something simple and artistic without taking 5 minutes to load. Ms. Atallah sent me a photo from a concert which I turned into the background. I turned one of their promotional stickers into the navigational graphic. It made sense to use warm shades of golds for the text because of the arid deserts from which their music originates, while adding a nice contrast to the cool hues of the background.

Draft Guide
My client wanted the draft guide taken directly from paper format and put on the Red Line Report website. I had to design something that stayed true to Red Line Report's colors and the draft guide's format.

I've been speaking French regularly for 6 years. I live 30 minutes from the border of Quebec so I spend a lot of time there and a lot of French speaking tourists visit my area. It's come in handy numerous times.
Previously I studied French for 4 years in high school and 1 semester in college to fulfill my language requirement.

From October to December of 2003 I was hired by High Peaks Hospice to put on hardcopy their laws and by-laws. The binder I received was tattered and on one page could be found 3 different fonts in different sizes. I typed, edited grammar, and reformatted the 300+ pages so it would meet their professional needs.

Pendragon Theatre
Designer/Technician / Independent Contributor
Pendragon Theatre
is a year-round professional theatre nestled in the Adirondacks of New York. While working with Pendragon I, like many of the company, wore many hats. I designed lighting for Moliere's
Tartuffe
, was a lighting and sound technician for a number of shows, spent time in the costume shop, stage managed, and built and tore down sets. When we aren't performing at home we are on the road bring Shakespeare and other classics, like
The Diary of Anne Frank
, to students.
Pendragon Theatre allowed me to work with some amazing artists in an area where theatre is difficult to come by. I was pushed to share my creativity while broadening my technical skills.

My concentration was on technical theatre. The courses I took varied from costume design to technical drafting. They helped shape not only my eye for colours and detail, but also my hardware and software skills. For example, in lighting design we worked with CAD and Adobe Photoshop.
