ABOUT
Hello, I've worked in the design world for over twenty years. I specialize in the Adobe Creative Suites (Illustrator, Photoshop & InDesign) but I'm also fluent in the Microsoft Office apps as well as many other programs.
Throughout my carrier I've been lucky enough to work with great people and a variety of companies to create thousands of graphic assets. That experience has given me the confidence to say there is no graphic design need I can't fill.
I live in Dexter, MI with my wife, two sons, two dogs and a stray cat we adopted a few years ago.
I'm always looking to take on new challenges so if you think you have a need for my services or would like any additional information please feel free to email me at:
Thank You!
