Message

Music and visual design/layout communicate emotions in ways words cannot. I have spent over twenty years designing interfaces, layouts, logos and computer interactions, as well as four decades performing, writing and engraving beautiful music. All of that experience has been fed by a passionate objective to communicate as clearly and concisely as necessary and possible, without sacrificing the emotion inherent in all we hear and see.
