Q U A L I F I C A T I O N S

I am a professional Art Director with over 15 years experience. Throughout my career I've also work on many projects which
gave me exposure to every aspect of the creative and production process as well as developing professional relationships with
my clients. I have been exposed to many facets to design. Working five years in the sign industry gave me experience in
Environmental Graphic Design and allowed me to create some award winning designs and worked for high profile clients like
Poland Spring. I also bring over ten years advertising experience winning accounts with spec designs that communicate the
client's needs and then carry that campaign into production. The client base in advertising ranged from small local business
to larger ones like Cintas, Dexter Shoe and ALDI. To further see the results of my experience, please view my portfolio.
