about

“Why are there so few robots on your site?”

I work under the name Hey Kid, Nice Robot! because the phrase captures the fun, creativity and childhood imagination that I strive for in my personal work. Also, robots are really neat.

At a young age I developed a love for visual storytelling with the family’s 8mm camcorder. Following my passion, I graduated from Temple University with a degree in Film and Media Arts.  In 2006, I found a home at Gamervision, where I have been the lead designer since it’s launch. I am proud to say that Gamervision, a social network for video gamers, has grown into one of the leading sources of game news and original content.

My freelance work has included the clients J.Crew, EBay, Hammer Films, and Pinnacle Health Communications.

SKILLS:

Mac OSX, Adobe’s Creative Suite, Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro,  After Effects, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, Live Type, Dreamweaver, Flash, Coda, ActionMethod, Word, Power Point, Excel

Resume` is available upon request.

    Designing for Crewcuts, J.Crew’s youth line, was an exciting opportunity. I approached every design hoping that this shirt would become some child’s favorite, wearing it for days at a time. NOTE: Not all of these designs went into production.
