I have an extensive background in the graphics industry with both print and digital design experience. After studying Graphic Arts and Printing Communications in college I became employed by commercial printers and worked as a prepress technician for many years. As my computer skills grew, so did my interest in graphic design and the endless ways to be creative visually as a designer.
My goal is to take clients' ideas and turn them into marketing campaigns or print collateral by developing the overall layout and production design for print and digital advertisements, brochures, logos, presentations, and web assets. I have previously worked for in-house marketing departments, commercial printers, and as an independent contractor for agencies.
Please take a moment to review my portfolio which showcases a lineup of my most recent work and also demonstrates my ability to create versatile designs for any occasion.
