HOW & WHY I DO THIS: 
I am highly efficient and detail-oriented, and while I enjoy working on a team, I'm also independent, self-motivated, and always hit the ground running. I am versatile and intellectually curious. I am drawn to clients involved in creative and/or service endeavors. I also love to problem-solve and create useful, clear design that can make information accessible to anyone. 
I design because I enjoy its beauty and clarity, but also because I love the "big idea."

I'm just as much at home laying out a page full of copy or a text-heavy booklet as I am an image-driven branding scheme. I'm also as experienced working within an existing brand and adhering to guidelines as I am creating something from the ground up.
Theatre-Maker: I am a professional working actor and produced playwright at multiple professional theatres from New York to Florida. http://www.darylsplays.com
