I came to graphic design through family tradition (daughter of a fine artist) and through publishing, which means I began my career working with type and page layout. As the needs of my employers changed, I grew with their organizations, learning new software and file structures as the need arose.<\/p>\n

I’ve worked for book and magazine publishers (ad production, ad schedule management, copy editing, proofreading, page layout, cover design, and even trade shows), for a home decor manufacturer (signage, point-of-purchase displays, packaging, photo shoot direction), for a home builder in a major metropolitan area (collateral, signage, billboards, and lots of print ads), and now, finally, for myself.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned from every project I’ve ever participated in, from every drawing, from every client interaction. While I consider myself ready to learn new skill sets, and big ones, at a moment’s notice, I do not do coding or programming.\u00a0I can, however, supply words and images for any project, including online endeavors. In addition to creating psd comps for site designs, I can work with WordPress and HTML templates to design and maintain simple sites, and I\u00a0have a fair amount of experience creating web graphics and simple animations. I’m currently working to expand my multimedia and interactive capabilities.<\/p>\n
