About
Anyone can learn how to use a program, I pride myself in my understanding of aesthetics in art and design at a cultivated level. I excel at illustration, color theory, typography, image manipulation and layout design. I have hands on experience in every aspect of the design process: Concept, Drafting, Principle Photography, Photo Manipulation, Layout, Pre-Press, and Production. I set myself apart from other designers with my hands on knowlegde and my ability to be truly creative. Creativity, is the one thing you can not learn or download, you either have it or you don't.
I have participated in the actual production of printed materials ranging from stationary to billboards. This gives me intimate knowledge on the limitations and possibilities of each medium, allowing me to design with accurate procedures and final cost incorporated into the design process. -
