I have received design awards in the Eidographics/RCA competition in London and the APGU competition in San Diego. My digital art has been exhibited in the Museum der Stadt in Gladbeck, Germany, the Royal College of Art in London, and the Siemens Museum in Munich.  I am environmentally and socially responsible. I am a ukulele enthusiast, a bee-friendly gardener, an avid traveler, a former ice-curler, and a deer team member of Native Animal Rescue.

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE

I specialize in:

  • Dynamic print and web projects from creative concept to production to finished product.

  • Global brand development or revitalization; corporate ID packages. 

  • Designing your fresh, new engaging templates or working seamlessly with those created by your artist. I excel at setting up standards for design teams.

  • Identifying target audiences and creating cogent graphics that increase customer loyalty.

Hello! I am a design strategist and graphic artist based in California's Santa Cruz mountains. My clientele covers a wide variety of companies, from Silicon Valley high tech corporations to locally-owned businesses. Throughout my career I have worn many hats, from Art Director to Production Artist to Visual Storyteller. I have worked in The Netherlands, Switzerland, England, and America, and am well-versed in effectively communicating and co-ordinating efforts in the international community. I am self-motivated and committed to providing the highest standards whether working autonomously or with a team.
