experience

I am a longstanding fine artist, a product of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Art is my passion, and I love exploring every aspect of it. I have an extensive professional background in production design and graphic design, with over twenty years of experience with both large and small advertising agencies. I am expertly proficient in Adobe Acrobat, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Microsoft PowerPoint, Apple Keynote and Quark Xpress. I have 4/Color process separation/print abilities along with the skills to print using aluminum plate lithography and large format screen printing. I am driven, tenacious, and painstaking, and I bring an artist’s eye to every project.
