    I'm a lead graphic designer, illustrator, and print production manager with almost 20 years of professional experience working in a variety of unique and impacting styles and many levels of product development and management responsibility. I enjoy adapting my talents to whatever project I'm involved in. I'm looking for new work experiences and opportunities and am always available for the right contract or full-time job opportunity.

    As a graphic designer, I have a broad range of experience and abilities creating print media, branding, package and cover design, and interactive design work (UX and UI) for numerous apps, websites, and software. I've been utilized extensively for cover and package design and have developed my concepts from ideation to final print products on countless assignments.

    As an illustrator, I've worked for a variety of clients and employers, including creating unique artwork for School Zone Publishing, various corporate and individual client entities, and even the U.S. Coast Guard. I've worked as a sequential illustrator (comics), done book cover illustrations, and much more.

    As a print production manager, I've overseen the art direction, design, and production of multiple and various projects simultaneously.

    I'm especially fluent in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Affinity Designer. I also have professional experience using Adobe InDesign and Affinity Publisher. I strive to keep myself adaptable to the changing nature of creative technology.

    If you like my work and are interested in collaborating on a project or offering me a new employment opportunity, email me at: [email protected]
