Where can people see your work?

Work Experience:
From Reykjavík to Atlanta, I’ve been an illustrator, a web designer, a font designer and a graphic designer.
Clients you’ve helped:
Some of the bigger ones are Coca Cola, CNN, ING, Turner.
What do you think needs to happen for ATL to be respected on a worldwide creative level?
For any place to gain respect it needs to nurture existing talent as well as attract new. An environment of excitement, passion and sense of culture will fuel excellence. Atlanta needs its Medicis and Guggenheims.
Here are a few things to ponder:
1) Originality: We need to rise above the stock photo mindset and make clients comfortable with taking risks with us. It’s the only way for brands to survive today.
2) Craftsmanship: Nothing comes from nothing. Work hard. Rework you work, then rework some more.
3) Compete globally. We’re lucky to live in these times. If Atlanta clients fail to inspire, look to the rest of the world for like-minded clients.
