I have years of design and creative direction experience, with a 360° focus on brand development/implementation, print design, web UI, advertising and direct mail marketing.
My diverse interests and creative focus allow me to be problem solver, whether it’s working with an established brand, evolving a brand in transition or the creation of a new brand/identity package.
I consider myself an excellent collaborator and am completely comfortable with clients as well as fellow creatives. My many years of experience allow me to bring a focused yet fresh perspective to any design team
or creative environment.
