I create images for use in print or web. All images are created digitally, on my computer, even though they originate with my sketches. Vector images, which I use for logo design, are ultimately scalable, and can be used large or small without loss of quality.

I am a Graphic Designer, meaning, I use images and words to create a visual message enabling my client to communicate with the target audience. This is done through careful listening and understanding of the client's needs and research of the competition so that I may position the client's message to the desired audience.

I am an illustrator. I can take your ideas and represent them visually for use in print or on the web. I can bring life to your unique vision, be it for a small business, a non-profit organization, or your personal identity.

I can create an entire website, or web graphics for an existing website. Good web design enhances the message to the intended audience, without getting in its way. I am always mindful of the audience first; any design must be tailored to it, so I generally do not use distracting animations or inappropriate design elements. Know your audience first!
