About Me

I'm a graphic artist located in China Grove, NC, just north of Charlotte. I have a diverse background in screen and offset printing, apparel design and decorating, reprographics, package and general design, presentation materials, web technologies and data manipulation. My style is function forward design which puts the message and purpose first in creating an eye pleasing design

I worked within the screen printing industry numerous years, which helped me develop my skills in printing, garment construction, production planning, separation techniques, computer design, and management. It was during this time I had the pleasure of working with several exceptionally talented artists from whom I learned much.

I was employed in the offset and reprographics for more than six years, consequently increasing my knowledge in networking, file management, customer service, costing, design and layout, reprographic equipment, prepress, and offset printing. Most importantly, I gained valuable customer service knowledge.

I worked in the fashion and merchandising field, where my skills grew in package design, prototyping garments and print patterns, presentation materials, product sourcing documentation, and collaborating with major retailers. I have completed several web sites on a freelance basis and am looking to grow my knowledge in this area.

I am currently utilizing my skills manipulating data to maintaining online ERP software. Data is processed from digital order forms and customer's EDI files then manipilated utilizing Microsoft Excel to format correctly and sort data as needed. I would like to utilize my experience on your project or within your organization.
