I’m currently based out of Downtown Los Angeles, participating in multiple projects based in the US, UK and Europe. I also provide freelance consultation for investors planning to develop property. For 2011 and 2012, I’ve been commissioned to design and build a series of conceptual interior architectural installations, furniture and lighting for urban and warehouse environments. At age 19, I traveled across Southern California and spent most of the next eight years in Hollywood, Los Angeles. I photographed actors and designed flyers for clubs, raves and parties. I was given office space at renowned studio, A&A Graphics, (now APC), which was California’s hub for club, rave and concert promotions. They produced the now famous Coachella visual identity, and are now one of the largest direct marketing studios in America. I worked as a freelance photographer, graphic designer, illustrator, photographer and animator. I worked as a freelance Art Director at SONY MUSIC/COLUMBIA RECORDS in Santa Monica, designing CD/cassette album cover art, and poster advertising. I also worked for ATLAS PRODUCTIONS in Santa Monica, producers of the cult feature film BARAKA, as well as national television advertisements for McDONALDS, BUDWEISER and MOLSON. I art directed and designed magazine print advertising for their services. In 2004, Cleopatra Records, Hollywood, published HOLLYWOOD ROCKS, a hardback book about Hollywood Rock Bands of the 80’s including Guns and Roses, Chili Peppers and Motley Crue. I assisted as editor and designed 110 of the 210 pages. Book design for Cleopatra Publishing, Hollywood, MST, 2001 I was asked to art direct and design the University College London graduation ceremony program, for the graduating year 2000. I was given complete artistic freedom, and was told only to consider that, “people will have worked extremely hard to be able to receive one of these.” UCL is one of the top universities in the UK. I currently have plans for multiple eco developments, including the mixed-use conversion of the Capitol Garment Building; a 12 floor, neo-gothic, reinforced concrete building in good condition, in the center of the fashion district of Downtown Los Angeles, and the design and construction of an eco residence in Malibu.
