About

With a creative eye and a passion for everything tech, I bring a whirlwind of knowledge to the forefront of any project. Highly skilled in research and development my designs are built on a purpose and meaning behind every layout, logo, letterhead, large wall graphic or type set. I am a typography snob and a color palette junkie, I have a hawk eye for good design and photo retouching. When talking software and operating systems, I am the guru in the Adobe and Mac realm. You need a short cut in Photoshop I probably know it; “My mac is running slow?” Run a disk permission repair. I truly love what I do and want to expand my horizons in the graphic design world.
