Before computers and technology there was, is and always will be graphic design and its essence, visual communications. Paul Rand taught that

the process a truly great designer goes through to create his masterpiece is far more involved than just producing a good layout by making a

pleasing arrangement of visual miscellaneous ... that there is a mental process the designer must necessarily go through ... a problem solving

process which does not begin with a preconceived idea. He analyzes, interprets and formulates by improvising and inventing and then restates

his problem in terms of ideas, symbols and pictures ... with clarity and interest.

As the field of computer graphics changes and new media outgrows its daily limitations designers find themselves in an ongoing race to keep up

with the new tools available to them in the pursuit of the perfect design.

I chose to upgrade my education in the field of computer technology and graphic software, increasing my productivity and enhancing my

problem solving capabilities. It was an exciting challenge and is still an ongoing adventure. I have also had the opportunity and have completed

studies in 3d illustration and animation and am currently implementing what I have learned in my work.

After working in the industry for over 28 years, ten of those years as a graphic designer for a trade show company, I have now redefined my

career as a diversified graphic artist. My commercial experience has provided me with a valuable understanding of corporate expectations in the

world of visual communication. I have also, through these years, had the opportunity to donate a portion of my work in the form of print

projects to charities and in recent years websites for a non-profit organizations, one of which earned an international web site design award.

Thank you for your interest.
