    As an art director, publication designer, ad designer, production manager and photographer, my strengths in multitasking and the technical aspects of print production have helped me successfully create annual reports, visitors guides, brochures, collateral packages and more for a variety of clients.

    Currently I am working independently and doing mostly collateral and other print work for a plethora of companies. I've also recently decided to get back to my photography roots. While I don't want to stop doing design, I really miss doing photography and hope to be able to add more of it to my business.
