I'm a designer from San Jose California specializing in graphic design / web design.

I started utilizing graphics 1983. I was first a Sign Painter and Airbrush Artist dabbling in Desktop Publishing studies by day and a Printer/Pressman by night. I have found that understanding the requirements of the print industry has significantly helped me in the graphic/web design work. I am able to design art to the projects owner's needs while also educating them on the requirements for printing. This saves the customer time and money.

Throughout the years I've had diverse projects come my way from marketing material, CD packaging, corporate websites/identity branding and much more. I take on any artistic challenge thrown my way. I work closely with the owner of each project to keep them on time and on budget. I have experience working with large and small budgets, on a local level as well as international productions.

My main focus these days is on web and print design, having many years experience in both. Custom commission projects (paintings) do come my way about 3 to 5 times a year. Most of my projects also include marketing, advertising, corporate and editorial work.
