After being layoff in 2007, I started my own design studio. My  expertise is in packaging design and promotional materials. Industries covered range from the non-profit area to the music industry to the health and beauty sector. I enjoy my work and I pride myself on being responsible, consistent, and hard working as well being creative. The thing that sets me apart from others is that my experience not only encompasses all aspects of the creative side but also includes working on the marketing side for several years. I understand how important it is to blend the needs of both the marketing and the creative aspects into a project and make them work together.  My goal in any project that I take on is to understand the marketing needs and then translate them into attractive, creative, solutions that sell the product message. hide
