Art and design inspiration came early for me in my grandfather's Long Island sign shop in the early 80's. I am a life-long artist with thirteen years of work experience ranging from customer service and management to medical assisting and most recently, graphic design. With a lifetime love of fine art, a productive design internship, and the experience that I am currently gaining in editorial and ad design, I possess a strong and broad artistic foundation.
My design skills include but are not limited to logo, stationery, advertising, and editorial design, digital and fine art illustration, copyrighting, and small business branding.
