I believe that everyone deserves good design.

I have a wide variety of experience including the design of logos and corporate identities; packaging; posters, postcards, brochures, catalogs and other printed collateral; advertisements that have appeared in newspapers, magazines, websites and electronic billboards; event programs and tickets; wedding and other party invitations; hand carved and printed notecards; t-shirts, mugs and waterbottles; and website interface development, design and upkeep using HTML.

If you can dream it, I can design it.
