Who Am I?
I’m a highly skilled creative professional with over two decades of extensive experience and practical knowledge in the publication, graphics,
and marketing industries.
A sampling of my experience includes 10 years directing the production of Franklin Day Planner publications and catalogs, Art Director for a regional theatrical playbill in New England and Marketing Director for an International apparel designer/manufacturer. In recent years I have expanded my capabilities through supporting multiple organizations in the technology and manufacturing trades.

I believe that a good creative approach means nothing if it doesn’t meet the corporate needs. Great looking designs don’t serve much purpose if they can’t be produced. I strive to provide a cost-effective, streamlined approach to analytics, conceptualization, design and the production process necessary to create a corporate presence. Whether my client needs a new corporate identity or a new widget for their product line, we can build a strategic plan so they can make educated choices throughout the process.
