I live and breathe color and design. It's always been my passion.

Since I've been in the industry for over 18 years, I've been entrenched in the evolution of computers and design. My first job out of art school was working with the programmers at Aldus trying to crash the first versions of 4 color digital processing software (anyone remember PrePrint?). That was a time when desktop publishing was just beginning. Since that time, I've always done my own technical trouble shooting and taught myself the ins and outs of the color and design programs we all use today: InDesign, Photoshop & Illustrator. This experience gives me an edge with the printers....my print jobs ALWAYS process without any weird technical hang ups.

I have a crazily creative mind and can't help but to think outside the box. I truly enjoy working with a great diversity of clients. I always provide my clients with the highest level of customer service and am adamant about being "on time and on budget".

I utilize available technologies in my graphic design projects as well as in my interior design projects. I can give people a great visual before they remodel, which helps them through the process and avoids costly mistakes.

Work WITH my clients to create an awesome aesthetic, whether it's in print media or the spaces they live and work in.
