A Bit About Me
I've been a graphic artist in Los Angeles for 20 years and loved every minute. My work has provided me with a broad range of experience ranging from print to motion graphics in a number of industries. I've worked with some high end clients designing marketing and branding campaigns such as brochures and posters to digital displays and billboards using a variety of software. I've also had the opportunity to create motion and infographics for numerous TV productions and I'm right at home in the fast paced "need it now" entertainment environment. I'm a team player, love the collaborative process, I've got a great sense of humor and as an added bonus, I was once a paranormal investigator and stuntman.
