I am a San Diego, Ca. based Graphic Artist and Web Designer. I specialize in print, web, and identity development for commercial, non-profit, start-up, small business, creative, health-related and educational institutions of all types. My goal is to provide my clients with high-quality design, quick service, and effective, user-focused designs that will ultimately benefit their business. I work with clients in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Washington, and California.
Having worked with a variety of clients and in a wide assortment of situations since my sophomore year in college, I can safely say that I have always been a freelance graphic artist. In my latest years I have expanded the body of my skills into the realm of website development and online marketing. I bring the wealth of my experience in layout, design, advertising, and creativity into a working portfolio of web and printed projects.
About my services:
• I am a true Graphic Designer—not a desktop publisher with extra time—with a BFA from Rutgers University in Graphic Design and Typography and have been working in the field (both print and web) for over 13 years...
• I am a full-fledged, 50+ hour a week working design professional with all the knowledge and know-how to meet client goals and maximize worth. I work from home, and this is my only job.
I create web sites using the latest, most modern version of valid XHTML/CSS, along with Javascript, PHP, AJAX, and Flash. Which means the site will be:
• Search Engine Ready, allowing search engines to penetrate and understand the content more semantically;
•Are accessible and will always work in future and previous versions of browsers;
• Just overall look more professional. It’s gotten easier these days to tell when a site is coded better.
• And finally, I’m fast, always available, and fun to work with. I will work with clients and their ideas to ensure they get what they're looking for.

Formed during the hot, hot summer of 2003, NO GOOD was created as a means to deliver us from clean, corporate design and advertising into the loving tentacles of independent art and hand-crafted expression-through-product. Bringing along with us as many of our friends and contemporaries as we could carry into this world of do-it-yourself-sufficiency and hand-tooled creative satiety, NO GOOD is all about connecting and combining like minds and energies together in the attempt to create great work and special products to be loved and revered by their eventual owners.
