About Me

I believe in graphic design at a higher level. I have extensive experience of both print and web design. I’ve developed brand and corporate identities, websites, advertisements, annual reports and sales collateral for clients in professional services and real estate industries.

I am an effective team player – known for creativity, flexibility and sense of humor. I am able to manage multiple tasks at once while keeping a detailed eye on the goal. I continually work with client’s to interpret their wishes and come up with just the right design.
