My advertising adventures have included concepts, art direction, production design and problem solving for national and international automotive, technology, fast food, retail, casino, liquor clients and more in print, packaging, broadcast and multi-media.
This self-motivated resourceful art director wants to solve your visual problems, create or enhance your image, share concepts, and develop and deliver your messages in any and every format needed to talk to your market. The ability to see the big picture as well as the small ones and come up with new and appropriate solutions for any size project is my specialty.
I am seeking challenging assignments that can make use of my existing skills and experience and satisfy my need for creative excitement.
Perhaps my next creative adventure will be yours…
