About

Very experienced graphic designer, specializing in corporate identity

and publication design. I also design marketing collateral and have

extensive experience in detailed digital

manipulation of images.

I am looking for long term contracts or a full-time position with an

exciting, multi-disciplined firm of 6-8 creatives with room for me to

grow.

I would like to focus on

1) Publication design and ePubs for small budget authors.

2) Branding and marketing for small, green and local Arizona companies.

Please, no spec work. You wouldn't work for

free.
