Web & Graphic Designs:

A picture is worth a thousand words, good design is worth thousands more.

I'm a triple threat!

(Links are in blue):

My introduction to graphic arts and web design was as part of my Web Design & Development certification program at WCC. I always try to combine that education with my Marketing undergrad from U of M-Flint, to bring ascetically pleasing and logically laid-out designs with room for branding and ad space. I'm an artist, designer and marketer all in one.

  • My work has primarily been in the realms of designing original graphics for clothing, public signage and website design
  • For an in-depth look at my website design process, check out my Intrigue Escape Games Website Development Case Study
  • Favicon design, ad set creation and logo development are also a part of my skillset

I truly enjoy diving deep into the meaning, history and emotion behind the design.
