About Me
I'm a graphic designer, specializing in publications, collateral communications, branding, and identity awareness. I love to order and clarify information, with a strong slant towards simplicity, and establishing relationships of form and aesthetics.
I am also available for custom design projects, and art portraits of individuals, pets, homes, and places. My prints can be custom ordered and framed. Contact me if you would like to discuss any project or idea you might like to collaborate on.
And thank you for being here.

Graphic Design
I love all forms of design, but graphic design and communication arts have been my lifelong calling. Ordering information in ways that are at once accessible and rendered aesthetically, good communications design creates the link between an idea and a message that allows the viewer to quickly receive and understand it.
Photography
Photography is my first love, ever since I got a Kodak Brownie when I was 10 years old. I especially love black and white photographs, but I also enjoy playing with color, form and concepts.
I use a digital camera, as well as tablet or phone, and I work with many apps. It’s always a delight and surprise to see what happens.
Illustration
I often create collages, montages or illustrations using enhanced or manipulated images, that lend meaning and texture for stories and news.
Digital Painting
Developing portraits, ideas, and scenes through filters, apps and photos, I use art, drawings, and textures to create one-of-a-kind visual experiences. These projects are mostly personal, which I love to share. I also create portraits from photographs given to me.
