With over three decades of work in brand development, creative concept, design and production for both print and electronic media, design is as much a career choice as a personal passion.

And while understanding the importance of a flat sheet and a flat-rate, the difference between pixels and points and the value of pennies and dollars is crucial, what drives me is building relationships on respect, hard work and never forgetting to laugh along the way.
