I am a highly skilled graphic designer with over 25 years of experience creating high-quality, purpose-driven design for publications, professionals and media agencies. I bring the benefits of a large publishing or design agency—irresistible design, fast turnaround times and strong marketing understanding—while keeping a personal touch and clear communication. I focus on considered, clever design with a strong sense of deadline discipline and professional client liaison across the production cycle. I don’t just make things look good; I aim to produce brilliant work that meets briefs, stays within budget and helps inspire through design.
