Profile

I am a Graphic Designer, Developer, and Photographer. I have been working with Adobe applications for 28 years. Since 2006, I've worked with many different demographics in various industries. This experience gives me the expertise to tackle any aspect of a project I may encounter. I am kind of a “one stop shop” when it comes to creative solutions.
