With an MFA in Graphic Design and 30 years of experience, I have held various positions, starting my career as a designer at a major ad agency and eventually graduating to Senior Art Director and Associate Creative Director at a leading marketing agencies and a well-known publishing houses. I’ve worked on a wide variety of collateral pieces for both consumer and trade publications, including print ads, package design and web development as well as new product launches from their concept to completion.
