I was asked to develop a few shirt designs in 2 colors for a local booster club to sell at home games for this high school football team. This was one of the designs that they selected to sell for home games.

About
I am a professional graphic designer with 30 years of hands-on experience creating effective visual solutions for businesses, organizations, schools, teams, and community groups. My work includes logos, signs, banners, business cards, apparel, promotional materials, digital print files, and custom designs tailored to each client’s needs. I enjoy listening to customers, developing their ideas, and turning them into polished designs ready for production.
I bring a friendly, practical, and collaborative approach to every project. I am comfortable managing customer questions, preparing job tickets and materials lists, coordinating with installers and screen-printing teams, and supporting designs through approval and production. I also enjoy creating t-shirt designs for local booster clubs, bands, choirs, and athletic teams, while helping colleagues and customers achieve professional results.

Client in the Finger Lakes area of New York contacted me about designing a logo for his shows that he holds every year. Doing some research of the Finger Lakes area, I added the lakes from that region into the logo design. Colors reflect the ones used by state of New York for certain logos in print. Once customer saw the design, he approved it on the first go-around.

Client in New York state needed a logo designed for his Long Island Comic Book Expo shows. I did three different logo designs for him to review. With a few small design changes, this was the logo he approved and is using for his shows.
