Professional Experience

As a graphic designer and layout artist for the last twenty-one years, my focus has been on delivering a clean, professional final product quickly and efficiently. I have designed books and series, but also work with templates provided by publishers. My body of work includes complicated outdoor recreation guides, nonfiction, fiction, cookbooks, and educational books. I am well versed in graphic design applications on the Mac platform, and I currently work in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat), Quark, and Microsoft Office.
