Available to hire
I’m an expert in photo retouching/imaging, photo compositions, and color management in RGB and CMYK. I excel at production design and layout for printed collateral, including catalogs, packaging, brochures, POP, and tradeshow graphics.
With over 20 years of experience in the printing pre-press and large-format print industry, I bring a pragmatic work ethic, a good sense of humor, and strong collaboration with other creative people while staying open to feedback and direction. My background in imaging is complemented by years in pre-press operations, color profiling, and image archiving, giving me end-to-end perspective.
