I am a master craftsman with exceptional technical skills that give me the confidence to push the limits of print production. I am a pragmatist who understands the realities of a competitive, deadline-driven industry. I am, above all, an artist with the knowledge and ability to deliver - every time.I work closely with clients to turn ideas into functional and effective designs. From P.O.P. displays and magazine layouts to logo design and web graphics for such clients as Universal MCA, Mac's Convenience Stores and SYSCO Foodservices, I expertly manage multiple projects from concept to completion, often exceeding client expectations.
