About

I have been in the graphic design business since 1977. I have been freelancing as a graphic designer and illustrator since 1987 in southwest Missouri. My goals are to secure challenging work as a designer and illustrator in advertising, communications, and public relations for a variety of clients. Previous occupational experiences have provided a solid base in all these areas. My long-range goals include the exploration of design for social media.
