PROFILE
As an enthusiastic, self-motivated creative with over 20 years of experience in the Graphic Design field. I am an avid fan of all aspects of art & design and fortunately, I have had the pleasure of exploring and succeeding in positions in production, conceptual development, design, and direction.
I am at expert-level skills in major design applications, and I am fully versed in all aspects of printing and prepress.
I spend most of my time as a graphic/web designer along with coordination and management of multiple projects including developing concepts and strategies, coordinating and setting deadlines, handling budgets, designing and creating print campaigns, photo editing as well as web materials.
Successful working independently or as part of a team, I have held the role of both team member and team leader, supervisor, Creative Director and department head. I have ongoing independent work experience as a freelance designer.
A well-established fine arts background in drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking and photography, has provided me with a strong foundation for effective design sensibilities.
