Graphic Designer / Marketing Director at Prime Arcade, Inc.

Creative & Design

Conceptualizing and problem solving is at the heart of any creative project, and mastering the tools to bring it to fruition has always been my goal. With an extensive background in commercial design, the technical skills to execute, and a tenacious imagination to keep a project moving, I work to create a team environment so that everyone meets the deadline and survives the ordeal.

My diverse employment history has equipped me with “boots on the ground” first hand experience that has demanded that that I “wear many hats”.  Working in fast paced, small to mid-sized creative departments have equipped me with the skills from simple production to directing entire publications and departments.

My roots are in illustration, composition and concept. I have been on the forefront of the digital integration of the arts since it’s beginning. My background also gives me experience in service, education and marketing, working directly with the public on many levels.

The working environment is as important to me as the work itself. I look forward to contributing to a team atmosphere while maintaining a working decorum within the company structure, all with diplomacy and results.

I do illustrations, photo enhancing, layout design, package design, product concepts, photography.
