Available to hire
I’ve spent more than 30 years designing print communications and, in recent years, graphics for social media. I’ve collaborated with corporations, non-profits, political campaigns, and referendum groups to create clear, readable messages that fit brand standards.
I’m comfortable both with original design and with production work that respects existing identity systems. I’m proficient in InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat, and Microsoft Office, and I pride myself on responsive service, proactive problem-solving, and fast turnaround while maintaining branding consistency.
