Extremely passionate about typography, photography and layout/design. 4+ years experience with freelance graphic design work and client relations, 2 years of those was owning/operating a design company specializing in logo development and company branding.

I'm highly skilled at customer relations and am able to adapt to client needs on the fly and exceed their expectations. I enjoy developing a brand or logo with a client from the ground up and seeing their dreams become a reality that represents what they do. I enjoy staying current on what is trending, while staying true to my design roots and personal style.

Very proficient with film and digital still camera systems, as well as traditional darkroom experience.  8+ years of photographic experience, with 2 years of those working for newspapers as a freelance photographer covering local events.
