Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: Mostly solo stuff but a few small collaborations in the works as well. I have a lot of time on my hands.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I like to get right into things. Typically I will put in a good amount of work and then check with the client to see if the project is headed in a direction they are happy with.

I like to try new things but i'm also very good at following directions, the trick is finding a happy medium.
