Hello
I am a passionate creator playfully exlporing the art world with any media I can get my hands on. What is so amazing about graphic design is that it combines a plethora of arts and skills. I love language, writing, symbols, music, composition, motion, editing, photography, abstract, experimenting, problem solving, collaborating, presenting, learning and being positive.
My Skills
Adobe Design programs:
Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, After Effects, Premier, Lightroom.
​
Graphic Design: With a BFA with honors from CCS, 10 years experience building a design department from scratch, and handling various freelance clients, I have become proficient in a wide variety of design skills. Typography, layout, large format, installations, packaging, product labels, image manipulation and retouching, tri-folds, POS signs, flyers, logos, private labels, videos, motion graphics, large ads, posters, events, banners, menus, web design and social media.
​
Process:
With most projects I follow specific steps. Quality communication is paramount in defining a starting point. Next, I move on to sketches, then prototypes. After a few design solutions are mocked up, the client gets involved in the decision making process. Projects are concluded with refinements and presentation.
​
Digital Photography:
I have done product photography for the following companies: Gayle's Chocolate, Knickerbocker Baking Co, THEPARDINGTONCOLLECTIVE, Mama Mucci's, and Holiday Market in Canton.
My photography has been accepted into various stocks sites such as Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, and Dreamstime.
​
Maker: I have been an artist ever since I can remember. I have done at least eight commissioned charcoal portrait drawings, have art and sculpture in two galleries, and create assemblage pieces and sell them at various shows. I also run assemblage events.
