My background begins with a desire to put pencil to paper at an early age. My career in visual communication was sealed on the first day of drafting class when I simply drew a block letter “T” with a t-square and a triangle. That is where it began.
Many other visual avenues have been traveled since, including Architecture, Artistry, Reprographics, and Design Engineering. During those travels, a degree in design and one in business were added as milestones.
My kids are grown, my career is stable, and life is good. Now, I would like to use my lifetime of talent and experience for something more than a hobby. My mission is not to make millions or to have my name up in lights. I merely wish to provide a profitable service.
From my career in Corporate Engineering, I know that formal qualifications and credentials can complicate a design process quickly. That is not what I am selling. My work speaks for itself and my career success assures professionalism.
