Professional Profile

From a very young age, I have always known I was an artist; fascinated by colours, drawings and paintings. I received my first boxed set of pencil crayons from my grade school teacher, Mr. Pignataro. It was a stepping stone for me, catapulting me from a child’s past time of doodling to something more substantial. He acknowledged the artist in me and strengthened my desire to pursue the creative arts.

Tools have changed from crayons to computers, but my passion for the arts still drive me to achieve more. Tempered by maturity and experience, acknowledging the lessons learned from professors, employers and clients, I’ve been able to push myself into making my own mark in the business world as a serious, artistic force.

I have helped clients and employers create corporate/brand identities, design marketing materials and develop web projects. My experiences range from designing brochures, publication layouts, posters, illustrations, websites, e-stationary and e-newsletters coupled with advanced knowledge of the latest available technologies in print and web design.

A consummate professional, I provides quality, graphic solutions to your business needs by listening, learning and researching. I believe that understanding the long-term goals of a company is key in presenting a strong and accurate message in visual and written communications.

After all, this isn’t kid stuff anymore.

Feel free to contact me with inquiries, request for quotes and anything else you’d like to talk about. I can give you advice on how to NOT cook Mac & Cheese.
