I'm a IT Manager, Digital Graphics Designer, UX Champion and Illustrator with 30+ years’ experience in all things Graphic Design. Print Design, Pre-press, Illustration, and Web/UI Design. I’ve done it all. I've worked in the trenches and managed teams of professionals on large scale projects.Art is not a Spectator SportI've always been fascinated by art and design, but never content to just observe. Taking a thought or idea and giving it a tangible existence in print or digital form is like putting a puzzle together. That passion drove me to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design. Double minors in Graphic Arts and Photography also came in handy when beginning my career in print design and Pre-Press operations in the printing industry. Later, I pursued illustration, honing my skills in both physical and digital media.The Perfect StormIn 1992, the Internet emerged, catching my attention. All my skills and training converged to design usable and beautiful websites. Today, I continue to leverage my skills and the latest technology to create new and interesting things.My WorkMy portfolio covers a range of web design, illustration, print design and logo design spanning over 30+ years. I've had the privilege of working on projects for many clients across many areas of business including banking, medical, entertainment and product sales. It's always fun to listen to a client's idea and then take those thoughts and mold them into something they can really use.Most recently I have been working for the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County leading the team responsible maintaining and developing Nashville.gov. Working in the public sector has proven to be quite a different challenge to the private sector but so much more rewarding.
