As an Digital Strategist (SEO & SEM) /Graphic Designer / Web Developer for White Rose Productions and SEOPDX, I have created websites for a number of clients so I understand how to support web producers with correctly prepared images. In addition, I have produced printed materials ranging from business cards and stationery to brochures and print magazines. These projects have come to me in various stages of preparation, all the way from just-an-idea to finished images and copy. Every project was completed before deadline and was given exceptional reviews by the person or organization.
