About

As an expe­ri­enced graph­ic design­er and pro­duc­tion artist I help my clients con­vey a clear mes­sage to their audi­ence. To accom­plish this, I use an assort­ment of tools includ­ing pho­tog­ra­phy, illus­tra­tion, typog­ra­phy, col­or, move­ment, pro­por­tion and for­mat to bring their mes­sage to life. Com­bin­ing and select­ing these ele­ments, togeth­er with my client’s input, I help them cre­ate a prod­uct that will com­mu­ni­cate their brand in the clear­est pos­si­ble way.

I am expe­ri­enced in the sev­er­al stages of pro­duc­ing a final design. This includes con­fer­ring with oth­er pro­fes­sion­als to devel­op a con­cept, prepar­ing rough sketch­es and allo­cat­ing resources. I am famil­iar with the details of stu­dio work and sched­ul­ing with oth­er depart­ments. As part of my pre-press expe­ri­ence, I processed final out­put, repaired files when need­ed, and con­ferred with mul­ti­ple ven­dors.

I’ve designed book cov­ers and inte­ri­or lay­outs for trade and insti­tu­tion­al clients using InDe­sign and Quark. In this process I choose the type­faces and images and put togeth­er tem­plates that oth­er design­ers would fol­low. My expe­ri­ence includes final art­work for high vol­ume print pro­duc­tion and assem­bling pre­sen­ta­tions for client review. Recent­ly I‘ve been work­ing with HTML and CSS for web­sites and email cam­paigns to help non­prof­its pro­mote their mis­sions and goals.

Here, I’m pre­sent­ing this port­fo­lio and blog to pro­mote my work. This is not a fin­ished prod­uct. Instead, its pur­pose is to tell you what I’ve been learn­ing and about ideas and con­cepts I’m exper­i­ment­ing with.  Some work will be pro­fes­sion­al and some will be pure­ly cre­ative. For poten­tial clients and ven­dors it should give you an idea of my range of ser­vices for artists and design­ers, it can hope­ful­ly be a source for exchanges of ideas. Com­ments are wel­come. I hope you will enjoy, share, and sup­port my site.
