I have been working as an Art Director and Graphic Designer now for over 40 years. (I know, crazy, right?) But it’s always been my passion and I consider myself lucky to be one of the few who actually love their job. Solving problems is what I do best. And for every project I take on I strive to deliver memorable and groundbreaking work that strikes an emotional cord with the intended audience.

 

My client experience includes such diverse areas as consumer products, the arts, healthcare, architectural and building products, food service, biosciences, education, nonprofit organizations, business-to-business, telecommunications, banking and utilities. I have worked on everything from television commercials, print ads, websites, digital ads, outdoor boards, and ambient advertising to posters, brochures, direct mail, annual reports, identities and  point-of-purchase.

 

Before striking out on my own, I was Associate Creative Director with Wyse Advertising, and held that same position with Point to Point, and Brokaw in Cleveland. Prior to that I worked as an art director at Dix&Eaton, Fahlgren, and Malone.

PERSONAL

When I’m not working, you can find me on my yoga mat, outside digging in the dirt, concocting something in the kitchen or checking to make sure I haven’t missed the final season of “Severance.”
