"Less is More" a phrase first introduced to me by a graphic design professor yet a belief I have embraced through every facet of my life. Keeping it simple. Getting right to the point. Philosophies that sound easy; however they are difficult to achieve without a path, organization and a goal. Something I have an innate understanding of.

In addition to having a Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design, I worked as desktop publisher in a commercial Print Shop. Guess you could say my paths crossed. The employment opportunity provided an invaluable comprehension of off-set printing and pre-press preparation while Graphic Design courses introduced me to typography, page composition and color theory. It was a combination that put me ahead of my class.

After graduating college I had big dreams which led me to art direct campaigns with Arlington Park, Sport & Social Clubs of the U.S., Flywheel Media & C.SAW Marketing.

Managing several in-house graphic design departments, collaborating with print vendors and large scale agencies, provided the ideal background to art direct a high profile client list at a boutique marketing firm. My contact list is extensive, my project experience broad and my work ethic solid. Relationships are important in any line of work, but mine are built on professionalism, flexibility and a sense of humor doesn't hurt either. It is this attitude that makes me approachable and adaptable to any situation.
