From apps to cookbooks, from websites to art catalogs, I believe that all design requires smart thinking to translate a client's mission from a good idea into strong and effective visual strategies—to spark curiosity, communication, and delight.
Graphic Design works through a shared visual and written language to communicate—whether it is the 15th century or 21st. Design itself is a learned craft coming directly from guildsmanship—craft itself is an expression of sharing and generosity, and the final products created are about sharing the message and sharing the means of communication.
I have worked in large and small graphic design firms with a variety of specialties, working with photographers, illustrators, coders, filmmakers, podcasters, and printers. Clients range from individuals and small businesses to large publishing houses and large corporations, and I specialize in designing for artists, education, local communities, and non-profits. I am a certified Adobe Trainer, and I am even called upon to work on traditional board pasteup!
