I possess the knowledge, skills and experience to propel an organization that demands a market leadership position and champions nothing less than excellence in their communications. My abilities differentiate me from my competition. I am highly successful with both business and creative processes and challenges, as well as, embracing new technologies and media as they emerge. I have been responsible for annual budgets reaching $3.5 million annually. The foundation of my expertise has been built upon years as an agency principal/creative director, communications design firm owner, department manager within a corporate environment and my formal education as a design professional.
