I really like illustrating vivid and impacting backgrounds that can be used in power point presentations, brochures and newsletters. I have found that I have a passion for creating animated flash content. I look to develop web pages that have a "wow!" factor. I also enjoy helping out the amateur photographer when they get enough of a portfolio to want a website. I enjoy creating illustrations to help present a website in a fresh modern way that still captures the feel of the individual I am working for. I enjoy photo editing and presentation if it be online or on a wall in someone?s home.

What Motivates Me
I find it extremely motivating to present a finished project to my client and have them be blown away with it. I really like to help people and if graphic design will help you in your business then that motivates me.

What Influences Me
I am influenced by other contemporary and modern web sites. I love looking at things that are popular and coming up with my own version. In the flash realm I like the viewers experience to be a journey. Like going on a road trip, a person knows the general area they want to be in but it?s the "what's around the next corner" feeling that makes it fun. Getting that feeling into a website is a goal for me.

My work ethic:
I am a hard worker and love the graphic and web design world. Creating things in my computer that come alive has become an art form for me. I make it a priority to work with my clients to make sure they are happy with what they are getting.
I can take a project in two ways. First, if you give me a simple idea of what you want, I will run with it and give you a couple options to choose from. Second, if you know what you want I will work hard to understand your vision and make sure that what I come up with is exactly what you want.

My experience:
I have been working for a non-profit organization for abused children about 10 years. I am the main designer and web tech manager. I have completely overhauled our website and added more of an artistic flare. I do all of our letter heads, brochures, newsletters and promotional material. I have also done two freelance photo website projects. I have the adobe CS3 design premium suit which is the leading graphics design software on the market.

Other Interests:
I am also a photographer and have begun to have a pretty large collection of landscape and wildlife photos. I am also a musician and have an ear for Classical, Celtic Rock mixes. Reading has been a big part in my life and that has helped me to become a skilled writer. I see these things as ways to hone my creativity and to help me understand what people are looking for in a designer.
