I am a seasoned writer, editor and designer with a diverse background in graphic arts, marketing and mass media production. I am passionate about my work, and I love what I do! 

I believe effective marketing is achieved through the art of story telling, where thoughtful copy and powerful art blend to connect with a target audience on an emotional level. While good campaigns get noticed, great campaigns produce results. Consistency in branding is essential. Details are everything. Deadlines are critical. Creativity is useless without accountability.
