ABOUT

Hello, welcome to my portfolio. I'm a seasoned graphic designer with 25 years of experience in many facets of graphic design and the overall creative process including corporate, agency, and freelance environments. I possess a unique combination of conceptual strength and technical proficiency for print and digital graphics and am equally comfortable working collaboratively or independently when needed. I’m also adept at time management, problem solving and have a knack for grasping the bigger picture.
