As a designer with over 25 years of experience, and a background in branding for print and web, I know what it takes to stand out and the effect it can have on business. During my previous role as Senior Designer/Art Director I worked with and lead a team of graphic designers on multiple projects. Our clients ranged from large financial institutions, small businesses through to the entertainment industry including Paramount Pictures, MGM and Warner Bros. My responsibilities included client services, vendor coordination, estimating, developing schedules, managing budgets and seeing the project from concept development through to final production. I have been an independent designer for the past 12 years working for various clients from Charles Schwab, Ulicny Financial Communications, Sawyer Products, and Ghost Block Winery just to name a few. My deep knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite and conceptual skills help me create original innovative designs for any brand. I believe I will make a valuable contribution to any firm from a leadership and concept development standpoint through to production of the final deliverable.If I had to sum it all up in just a few words it would be “I just really like to help!” I have a couple favorite quotes too: "I shall pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again!" —Jerry LewisAnd“Design is so much more than cute chairs; It is first and foremost everything around us in life.” —Paola Antonelli
