Im not a typical designer.
I like to call myself a visual storyteller creating solutions for your small business or by capturing that special day
on camera. I have been in the design and photography industry for over 15 years getting my start as an artist
at Hallmark Cards and more recently as an Adjunct Professor. I am also a member of JCCC Graphic Design
Advisory and Desktop Publishing Boards.I have been recognized for my design and photography by such organizations as KCIABC, AIGA, UCDA and most recently by the Kansas City Ad Club for Excellence in Design and Photography. I have had my photography published in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and closer to home in The Kansas City Star. I continue to work with such organizations as the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Nursing on a freelance basis creating outstanding visual solutions.
