I began my graphics career in custom T-shirt printing over 15 years ago. Since that time I have come to specialize in print design creating advertisements, catalogs, promotional materials and editorial layout. I'm proficient on both MAC and PC platforms and work mainly with the Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator & Dreamweaver) with experience in Flash, Director, Final Cut Pro and Corel Draw.

I like to stay current in my field, so over the past two years I've been attending Portland Community College part time, earning my certificate in Web Development & Design. I've studied XHTML, CSS, Dreamweaver, Flash and Multimedia project development.

In my spare time I can be found in my studio drawing, painting or creating mixed-media artwork from reclaimed materials. I also enjoy volunteering with the wonderful people at S.C.R.A.P. and the NAYA Family Center.
