Professional Experience
Magazines, books, newsletters, collateral, brand identity, and most everything print. I'm an award-winning art director and designer with a background in fine art. I can do it all from concept, branding and layout design to retouching, color, and production.
I'm known for coming up with creative ways to make work affordable but beautiful.
