My early career began in the production department at one of New York's top pre-press companies, followed by working for a high-end commercial printer. The experience I received I equate to gaining a solid understanding of the printing process, practices, and requirements. Inadvertently, I was taught graphic design by the art directors of national publications, seeing what was approved, what corrections were required, for layout and image. what worked and what didn't.
I am a self-taught designer with expertise in Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat, and Illustrator. I am also well-versed in WordPress, WooCommerce, SEO, and backend technologies such as MySQL and PHP. Born with a disability caused by the Thalidomide sample my mother was given during pregnancy, I credit this experience with developing exceptional problem-solving skills.
I am a proud mother of two grown children and a grandmother. I am actively involved with the U.S. Thalidomide Survivors group, serving on the convention committee and assisting with website updates.
I absolutely love being a graphic artist whether creating a complete website, banner ad campaigns, brochures, signage, to setting up a promotional product imprint properly.
Please call or email me if you have projects I can make happen for you.
