The term “graphic design" was coined in 1922 by one of the first modern designers, William Addison Dwiggins. He described himself as, “[an] individual who brings structural order and visual form to printed communications.” 

With 30 years experience in graphic design, web design, fine art, photography and illustration I approach all design projects, whether logo design, photo-illustration, web, print media or advertising with the goal to communicate effectively and esthetically. I'm a visual communicator, adept at refining and clarifying your marketing message. Many of my clients are corporate marketing departments who use me as part of their team , filling in gaps that occur; whether it's a missing in-house skill set, or perhaps their big advertising agency is non-responsive.

I have a wide variety of resources in the business community, with relationships to experts in marketing, advertising, printing, programming and web hosting so if I don't know how to do what you need, I probably know someone who does. Please look through my samples, let me know what you think. Also, feel free to test some options using Joomla! templates I've been creating and testing. The Template drop-down is also where I test Joomla! builds for clients. I have another url where I experiment with WordPress, it's a website with an embedded blog call zomtiki. Another WordPress testing area is here, where you can see a duplicate of this website using WordPress.

I was honored to have an art film project shown at the Seattle Art Museum on Sept. 25, 2005. The festival was called StockStock and the piece I created with music by Rik Tweed was among the top 25 entries out of a world-wide submission base.
