My career began when conceptual thinking, typography, problem solving and organizational skills were critical in desktop publishing’s infancy. A keen ability to listen to a design objective, budget and deadline, while embracing the delicate balance between a client’s idea to creating a successful marketing strategy sets me apart from other graphic artists.Print is my expertise. I’ve created a plethora of catalogs, direct-mail pieces, trade show booths, ads, point of purchase displays, package inserts and dozens of other print materials. I have also created several, banners, web-site designs and HTML emails but did not author them.One last thing about me, I work fast, have an attention to detail and can do Photoshop in my sleep. I’m proficient in Illustrator, Quark, InDesign, Freehand, Adobe Acrobat Professional and have a working knowledge on the balance of CS4 and Microsoft Office. I’m also allergic to hyphenation, widows and orphans. O.K. I admit it, that’s more than one last thing... add sarcastic with a sense of humor!
