In My Own Words

I am a design professional with a proven track record of success. I have built that record by consistently delivering high-quality work that meets or exceeds client needs and delivers their message to their target. My experience ranges from managing a printing operation to creative direction in an agency setting to design management in a global corporation.

Recently my professional focus has been on digital design and execution for promotional marketing with a heavy emphasis on mobile and responsive design.
