FREELANCE WORK
As a graphic designer with a photographer's eye, my clients depend on me for creative designs that achieve graphic excellence while effectively delivering the intended message. My own photography can serve as a foundation for my designs, but I also work solely as a photographer or as a designer. In a time when free-lance entities come and go, I bring 20 solid years of business experience to the table. Over those years, I have developed skills that serve clients on a practical level—overall project management, color correction, printing and pre-press management, writing, editing, and even calligraphy. I also bring to each project the benefit of established relationships with outside vendors including printers, paper salesmen, publishers, illustrators, photographers and stylists. In addition to client work, I am active in the Fort Point Artist community. My photography is featured in a variety of exhibits, including several open studio events, and my small, rod-iron-framed images from my travels throughout the world and closer to home are featured in several area specialty shops.
