Hello!
Hi, I’m a designer who helps ideas take shape.
With over 25 years of experience in graphic design, I’ve built a career around turning complex concepts into clear, engaging visuals—from standout logos and brand identities to polished digital campaigns and print materials.
I bring both creative instinct and strategic thinking to every stage of the process, from concept to execution. My skill set includes design, copywriting, editing, project management, and vendor coordination. I’m equally at home in Mac and PC environments, and I’m known for staying calm under pressure—keeping multiple projects moving while meeting tight deadlines without sacrificing quality.
As the founder and creative lead of Ten 18 Graphic Design, I collaborate with clients across industries—corporate teams, entrepreneurs, and political campaigns—helping them refine their message and express it through purposeful design. I love working independently and thrive in focused, self-directed environments; however, I also enjoy the energy and collaboration that come with working as part of a team.
I started my career in pre-press and have worked with ad agencies, publishers, and in-house departments, evolving alongside the industry while staying grounded in solid design principles. I’m a lifelong learner with a passion for both the art and strategy of communication.
Transcending Print and Digital Branding
I speak both print and digital, and understand the importance of continuity for your overall branding needs across all medias, from postcards and your company vehicle, to your website and social media.
Fluent in PrePress and Print Production
I have extensive prepress and print experience, and understand how to prepare files that are needed for the printing process. I take the digital layout to an optimized printed piece, and can guide you through the production process to ensure that your design project comes out perfectly.
Multi-faceted Design Creation
I understand that your designs are utilized in a million ways and need to be optimized for both screen and print. I create everything from simple designs for social media to complex graphics for logos or marketing materials.
Translating your Mission into Art
It is important to get to know you and your business. I take your mission, your goals, and vision and translate into graphics that represents you to the world. I take pride in making you recognizable.
