Experience

30+ years of designing for a range of clients, large and small. The places I’ve been a designer/art director outside my own freelance studio include The BLÜ Group Advertising & Marketing, Ovation Advertising, Art a la Carté, and American Media, Inc.

Skills

• Very strong in print design. On occasion I’ll jump into online work which I’m doing more as the times demand.
• Brand aware. Good design builds and supports a brand.
• Adobe Creative Cloud software on a Mac.
• Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign, and Illustrator are the programs I use weekly.
• Photo Art Direction.
• I’m pretty good at grilling thick steaks and pork chops.
