Print Design
I have been working in print all of my design career. Even in the age of computers and dynamic content, print still possesses a tactile sensation that cannot be duplicated or replaced by digital media: the special visual and tactile characteristics of a printed piece combine to create an emotional connection between a piece and the user.
I have experience in a range of print formats and outputs, from publication design, to corporate marketing pieces, to large format tradeshow graphics. Below you will find a sampling of recent work including brochures, flyers, posters, and catalog design. By clicking the "Expand Project" link you can view a larger image of the piece, and read a more indepth description of the creative process, marketing considerations and technical aspects behind the creation of the piece.
