Welcome to my website. I have been in the newspaper business for more than 16 years and have worked in just about every position, including copy editing, photo editing, web designing, web editing, video editing, audio editing, IT support, Macintosh Expert and Troubleshooter, Pagination Support and Training and project management, but I have spent a majority of my career as a designer and graphic artist. That is mostly because designing is my passion, whether it is print, web or multimedia. Designing across all platforms is one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done because you need all sorts of diverse skills to pull it off. But I’ve been able to do it because I have a natural curiosity for figuring things out and wanting to make things look good and work well.

I also have worked for a variety of different news organizations, including The Washington Post, MSNBC.com and Microsoft. I have an interesting mix of technical, photography, word and design skills. I am a fast learner and am looking for an opportunity that will allow me to use all of my skills to tell good visual stories.

I am currently working a contract position until Fall of 2012, but soon I will be looking for a position doing or teaching design across all platforms. Please keep me in mind if you’re looking for a big picture person who can manage and help steer your publication toward the future. Thanks for checking out my site. I hope to hear from you soon.
