I have been working in design and marketing for over 20 years. My experience covers many areas of the industry including, graphic design, print production, web design and development, digital marketing, and social media.

Projects include corporate identities, brochures, annual reports, books, posters, signage, email campaigns, website designs and development, digital marketing and social media management.

I’m an active member in my local community, and really enjoy helping local organizations thrive. If they thrive, so does the surrounding area, making it a great place to be. So if you are in Connecticut, it would be great to meet face-to-face and discuss what great things you are trying to do. If you are located elsewhere, that is great too. Technology has made the earth much smaller. We can set up a phone call or video conference call.

My favorite part of my work is knowing is knowing I’ve helped a client present themselves the best that they can to their world. I hope to do the same with you.
