WHO AM I?

Hi, I'm Kevin. I'm a Chicago-based graphic designer. Born in Niagara Falls, I attended Rochester Institute of Technology and received my BFA in 1997. I further attended School of Visual Arts, recieving my MFA in 2000.



I have been pleased to contribute to such companies as Sundance Channel, The Street.com, Imagination Publishing and, more recently, The Arena Group Media as a digital and UX designer. In particular, I took the lead at The Area Group to become art director for the editorial graphics department's video and article sections.

MY SKILLS

I'm fluent in all Adobe Creative Suite applications and am experienced in making Powerpoint presentations and graphics in Excel. I have skills in management of small teams of design specialists.
