About

Art Director and Graphic Designer with 30+ years of experience leading design, project management, and creative consultation across corporate and agency environments. I create print-first brand identities and marketing collateral—logo/theme development, brochures, direct mail, advertisements, annual reports, retail circulars, signage, banners, and tradeshow materials.

I’m known for high-quality execution and attention to detail, including production-ready files that meet commercial print specifications (bleed, color correction, and resolution). I also develop visual assets optimized for both print and digital channels, using Adobe Creative Suite and strong collaboration to deliver consistent, cohesive campaigns.
