"As a graphic designer, I am constantly interested in the relationship between technology, problem solving, and creativity. Over the last few years, I have studied the evolution of methodologies throughout graphic design history. Moreover, the roles computers and the Internet have played in affecting how graphic designers think, learn, and work.

Currently, I am exploring the permanence of online artifacts, and how they are interpreted offline. Throughout my work, I attempt to shift the mediums and context of the artifacts. For example, in my ongoing series entitled, "Craigslist Vernacular," I visually interpret the vernacular language of Craigslist ads both digitally and physically while also demonstrating the limitations of digital work versus handmade work. The digital image on the right is done solely on the computer with no sketching in advance in an attempt to promote fast problem solving. The image on the left is drawn completely by hand in an attempt to explore the balance between hand drawn type and illustrated elements.

Throughout my research and practice, I have gathered records from various social websites like Twitter, Tumblr and Craigslist. Then, I translate them into printed visual systems, infographics, linocuts, zines, posters and more. By collecting data and reflecting on the relationship our culture has with the Internet, I hope to challenge my own design methods and create memorable experiences through a variety of visual forms."
