I am more than a Graphic Designer. My career path has a definite focus on Advertising and Packaging Design but I also have an extensive history in large venue public communications as well as a history in television production and as a U.S. Army Airborne Infantry Soldier. I use all of the tools in my history to make me an outstanding Graphic Designer. I have received 20+ advertising awards from the North Carolina Press Association for layout, use of color, humor and creativity. I use my background in television production and my many years as an artist and art instructor to aid in my designs. My outgoing and pleasant personality and communication skills aid with my client and coworker interactions. As former Airborne Infantry soldier I stay on task and get the job done without distraction. I am well trained in all of the Adobe products but more notable with Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator.
