I bring over 30 years of experience, wisdom and creativity to whatever job I am doing. My background as a graphic designer and art director includes dozens of consumer product brandings and company startups, which included many brochures, package designs and websites. I was a busy designer before Macintosh was invented! I also have many years experience managing vendors and printers. My niche seemed to be branding and packaging, but I also excel in advertising, copywriting, video editing and communications design. And I would love the opportunity to become a part of your team. I am a master at most of any part of Adobe Creative Suite. My local area is the San Francisco Bay Area. I am available locally or remotely
