Based in the Southwest, I have been an independent graphic designer and art director since the birth of the Mac and launching my career in the Silicon Valley. I've worked with large corporate clients, non-profits and a variety of marketing departments. I'm comfortable with all aspects of technology and was an authorized QuarkXPress trainer in the Detroit area.
