Pritchett & Hull

Contract Designer and Illustrator

P&H has been a great account for me, and I have been excited to help handle layout, design and illustration for a variety of their print materials. The company's primary focus is patient education, and they were one of the first to recognize this need in the U.S. almost 40 years ago. All the work is distributed nationally, and it is exciting to see my illustrations and design help individuals who might need a hand in a difficult situation.
