growing up on a steady childhood diet of Sid & Marty Krofft and Hanna-Barbera, i left the rural microcosm of Milton, Pa. (home of Chef Boyardee, ergo my obsession with tomatoes) to pursue graphic design.

after graduating with a B.F.A. in Communication Design from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, i left Kutztown - another quirky rural Pennsylvania Dutch town - for the brighter lights of a gritty pre-Giuliani New York City. The worlds of music, fashion, film, and literature were all bubbling over & converging - and begging to be absorbed...and so i did.

several years in Australia added another dimension to my collective conscience; the experience was rich.

after a few years in the ever-offbeat Baltimore and a final landing place
in Dallas, the progression of visual contrasts had become quite a mental collage. thus, the total amalgamation is now...Lizztopia Design. all stitched together with a bit of quirk, a hefty dose of emotion, and an eastern european twist.

right brained; left of center. global thinker; people-centric; comic relief. love of words, stream of consciousness, and connecting the dots.
