Who am I...
I am a creative problem solver and a family man. Those probably go hand in hand...
I have worked in both the public and private sector, focusing mainly on municipal land planning. In every position I have held, I have always been asked to provide conceptual "what if" scenarios for proposed projects. In essence, I have always been considered an in-house consultant.
I am also a freelance illustrator, focusing on humorous illustration, architectural illustration, and plein air watercolor.
Why focus on visuals?
I have forgotten how many times an image I have created had a huge impact on a discussion. Whether the visual shows massing of a proposal, or the impact it will have on a view corridor, or how little of an impact a future project will have, imagery has always been the common denominator.
In most municipal Planning departments there usually isn't the person power, nor the time to create visuals for every project. Also, in most cases, the town is not large enough to have each developer provide the appropriate imagery to express the proposal.
Through my municipal experience, as well as my artistic eye, I know the visual needed to best inform the public and the decision makers with the information necessary to make an educated decision.
