Welcome
When presented with the common need of an online design portfolio, I thought of many of the great designers who have gone before me....
Some inspiring designers have been Cipe Pineles, Saul Bass, Paula Sher, etc. they seemed so artistically endowed; while I was more concerned with clarity of communication and a balance of creativity to supplement information. Throughout much of my schooling, I desperately tried to match the creativity and artistic ability of my fellow students. Finally, I realized that the best service I can provide includes embracing a life of change. So I stay abreast of current software, trends, and techniques. I am always learning, and I do the best job I know how to do -- given the projects presented to me.
Fulfilling the needs of my clients or employer has brought great joy and acheivment to my life. Over the years, I have even learned to leave room for a more balanced life and time to enjoy the beautiful Puget Sound area that I am fortunate to live in. I frequently remind myself and others that art is self-expression while design has a communicative purpose ... I am a Graphic Designer and I love what I do.
