I am on the Board for Opera LafayetteMember of the Development Committee andCo-Chair of the Imaging CommitteeOpera Lafayette is an American period instrument ensemble dedicated to performances of 17th- and 18th-century operas, particularly the French repertoire. I designed the old website www.operalafayette.org (this new one is a place-holder)

As a Graphic Art Designer/Director of my own studio, I oversee complex and detailed projects from concept to completion. I work with a variety of people with varied skill backgrounds, delegating and assigning tasks as needed. Some of my clients have volunteers that need assistance in delivering information, by offering advice in patient, easy to follow instructions, I am able to facilitate projects as well as educate the volunteers. I understand and have worked on all stages of projects, not only in the concept and hiring of appropriate contractors, but also into the mechanics of all stages from research, word processing, design, editing, press proofing, binding or finishing, delivery, mailing/postage, and even installation into a gallery space.
