About
As a seasoned advertising designer and fine artist, I am expert level in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, and proficient in Indesign and numerous other programs. I’m an Art Director/Graphic Designer with extensive traditional and digital illustration experience, and I have an aptitude for experimental projects. But I understand the importance of production and getting the work out. After all, you have to pay the bills and production is a large part of getting that done. I am equally comfortable with utilizing the team concept or going solo. I have a background that is primarily in advertising agency print design. I possess multiple skills covering many areas of advertising design including campaign creation, production and maintenance, logo and branding design, print, direct client contact and interaction and television photo shoot experience.
Currently, I am designing fine art 3 dimensional abstracts and digital illustrations, in addition to traditional print advertising. New designs to be posted here soon. If you see anything that you like and think something similar will help your business, please feel free to reach out. Perhaps I can help you give your projects that WOW factor! -
