History
I studied fine art at Clackamas College and Portland State University in Oregon with an emphasis on design and sculpture. When we moved to California, it was suggested to me to study graphic design. After graduating from Las Medanos College with a degree in graphics and a certificate in desktop publishing, I began my own business. Since then, I have returned to school from time to time, to learn html and web design. I have also studied photography briefly, and now that we have digital technology, I enjoy photography as a hobby. I particularly enjoy altering photos with photoshop. My other hobbies include painting, sculpture and other types of design. I belong to the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, and Referral Pros in Walnut Creek, CA.

You choose what you need, I design it. My background is in fine art, and I come from the direction of an artist. I do not use cookie cutter designs. I design on a mac, and use adobe and Quark products. I like to work with new businesses as well as small business and non profits.
