About
Hello! I'm a professional graphic designer with 20+ years experience in design, advertising & marketing. I spent many years as an Art Director/Designer in the entertainment industry.
I love clean and simple design.
I enjoy being surrounded by my horses, dogs, cats and rabbits – all creatures great and small!
