About myself

I have been doing Freelance graphics for over 2 decades. I studied commercial art and fine art and was involved in the printing industry for over 25 years and have been working with computers for nearly as long. I took some college courses in computers, design and Multimedia but moved before I got my degree. I worked for awhile as production manager in an advertising company as well as the Ad production Manager for a monthly Trucking magazine, I owned my own company as a print broker and had 2 freelance design companies called Digital Design Graphics and Visual Design Graphics.I also did contract work for a local newspaper for 3 years designing ads and laying out 3 monthly publications. This site will show you some of my commercial designs.

I have worked in both the PC and the Mac platform and have done designing, preflighting and layout on both my laptop Mac (Power Book G4) as well as my desktop PC. Although it's hard to keep up with so many programs today, I am fairly prolific in CS3-5 (PhotoShop, Illustrator, InDesign),Quark, Bryce3D, Front Page, Dreamweaver,, Flash, Freehand and have dabbled with CorelDraw, PageMaker, Authorware, Paint Shop Pro, Poser and many others. I also have done some video editing in Adobe Premier and and Final Cut Pro as well as some sound editing in Sound Forge. I have run a 40 channel sound board and multimedia slide projection system for a few years in my church and have created hundreds of slides as many power point presentations.But my first love will always be graphics and creative design.

  Programs are merely tools and for the most part they all work the same. Many Graphic designers and Web page designers know how to work the tools but lack true Graphic skills such as composition, color usage, layout, lighting, typology,etc. I try to utilize the style that is most appropriate to the product or project. This means it is often necessary to adapt to various styles and consider many design options. I offer many years experience in personal design and creativity. Feel free to contact me for any freelance projects.
