I'm currently employed as an Art Director. I have 28 years international experience as a Graphic Designer, Art Director and Creative Director. Having worked in a variety of agencies and studios for many diverse clients, I have been able to develop a well-rounded design approach. Some large corporate clients I have worked for include: Bosch; BMW; Nissan; and TransLink. Smaller clients have ranged from: non-profits to rock bands; property developers to manufacturers; CPG clients and many more across a broad spectrum of industries. This diversity has allowed me the opportunity to explore the dynamic, and often delicate, balance between form and function. I strive to design something that is always aesthetically appealing, while remaining relevant to the target audience and appropriate for the personality of the brand. Creative ideation and execution should always communicate well and be part of the brand story you're trying to tell. I believe in strategic creative that moves a client forward, away from the competition and into a space where there is room to flourish.I am curious by nature, which - I believe - serves a creative professional immensely. I'm a team player and personable, with good communication skills. I believe in working with integrity and being an active listener. Building strong relationships with clients and colleagues is important to me. The older I get, the more I want my work - and my life - to have meaning.

Can handle any print, digital, and video media imaginable: Corporate identities to billboards, vehicle graphics to video, magazine layouts to eye-popping package design, and Ad campaign concepts and execution.
