About 

I have been working in the field since the late 90's. I have excellent experience in many different arenas: ad agencies, software company, book publisher, print house, auto parts, electronics, photographers and a boxing magazine. I use Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Acrobat daily and use them to wield my magic.
I have worked in all areas of design and production, from layout, design, and photo and illustration work through account management, prepress work and direct client interfacing. I design and maintain websites and social media campaigns for various companies/organizations and have designed and produced a whole children's t-shirt line.
