Retired but still passionate about creating beautiful, color-accurate images that bring a designer’s vision to life. I’m experienced in prepress production art and graphics, and I enjoy producing polished final files on tight schedules. I work comfortably with both digital and 4-color process offset workflows, handling proofs, color correction, clipping paths/masks, and customer-facing job execution. I’m available for immediate on-the-spot freelance image editing work.
