It's pronounced "coo-fault". But more importantly:
I make things that please the eye and tell stories.
Sometimes – well okay, most of the time – they're on screens. But sometimes they're physical objects.
Some stand alone, sending their message at a glance. Others take you down a rabbit hole. Some move, play out narratives, or come to life. Some capture explosive action in a frozen moment. Whether it's a layout, a drawing, an animation, or an interactive experience, I enjoy finding how the story speaks through it. What's my preferred medium? The one that delivers the message.
The details: I’m in Seattle, and I have experience in graphic design, animation, and illustration. Digital interactive projects in particular combine many of my strengths, including a facility for communicating with software developers. I’ve served as art lead in group settings, as well as a solo telecommuter or simply a link in the artistic chain.
I’m seeking gigs or employment in any of the above fields. I’m self-directed, but I prefer non-managerial roles.
