Biography

As an Art Director/Graphic Designer with many years of experience, I'm known for thinking outside the box. I've worked on many major accounts at some of the most creative advertising and public relations agencies, studios and fortune 500 companies handling entertainment, corporate and medical/pharmaceutical marketing materials. My knowledge of producing original concepts and the ability to provide a quick turn around time, creates profitable results for companies. I have extensive experience in print media specializing in: Logo Design; Stationery Design; Style Guides; Sales Promotions; Brochure Design; Graphic Images for Website; Direct Mail; Digital Banners; Trade Shows; Print Advertising Design; Photo Retouching; Photo Shoot Production; Posters; Digital Paintings; CD Covers; Illustration; Fine Art; Prepress Management; Corporate Brand Identity and other programs with ideas to assist in the development of a client company's brand, both internally and externally.

I graduated from the School of Visual Arts attaining a B.F.A., with my art being featured in the school's art gallery. This achievement was an honor bestowed on few students. My art education began early in life, when I won a nationwide drawing contest and was awarded a first prize scholarship to the Art Instruction School. In high school, I majored in Commercial Art. I am also a musician that grew up in a musical family, where my mother, and grandmother were master classical pianists. They influenced me to become a fretless pro bass player of original rock/jazz fusion concert music of, Mammoth and Come To Papa, that achieved national notoriety on major record labels, and touring the USA and Canada, playing to sold out audiences, and broadcasted on major FM & college radio stations.
