Graphic design should be an integral part of your marketing solution helping to create your brand. Ultimately it leaves the look and feel that customers will come to identify with your product or service. I started my career in marketing communications as an assistant art director with Wilson, Frank and Associates, a San Diego based advertising agency. Looking to expand knowledge and opportunities I accepted a position with a public relations firm. It was here at Berkman & Daniels, working with some of the best minds in the business that I learned the concept behind tactical marketing and strategic branding.I worked 24 years in the travel industry.In December of 2014 my life took an unexpected turn, diagnosed with an aggressive form of lymphoma, I started chem and radiation treatment followed by a stem cell transplant. During this same time I was informed the hotel I worked for had been purchased by Pacifica Hotels based out of Irvine at which time ended my tenure with the company. After 8 months recovery I changed my career to become a school bus driver for San Diego Unified School District which afforded me the healthcare benefits I knew might be necessary going forward.I’m a certified graphic designer, graduate of the Ringling School of Art and Design with over 40 years in the industry.

I am looking to add to that list.
