My life is full of art, music and my graphic design adventures. I am a potter and passionate design artist. I construct my graphic design in the same style as my pottery, in textures and layers, giving a sense of visual depth. I view each client’s goals as a destination for me to reach.

After 5 years in publishing, working at such magazines as, HomeBuyer, Georgia Football with AE Engine Media, and Sarasota Magazine, I created and designed the magazine's highly profitable "Who’s Who in Real-estate” promotion and was recognized in the industry as an intuitive designer. My experience has continued in various industries for over fourteen years.

My lengthy client list has navigated me to a thorough understanding of design, marketing enlightenment and production knowledge. With the help of my clients, I have established a solid reputation throughout the marketing industry showcasing work on a variety of brands such as, SUNGARD, Cox Lumber, Atlantis Casino in Reno, Tropical Cadillac, Bradenton Saturn, Radisson Hotels, Cay Clubs, Red Line Limos, and Delray Toyota.
