I own a small graphic design and marketing company, offering affordable, high-quality design & advertising. My goal has been to create a unique business model, where I work with a small group of talented freelance professionals which would allow me to serve a wide variety of customers, providing exceptional work at a minimal cost. I continue to build this network and hope that one day we'll be one of the best design shops around.
Graphic design, web design, logo & identity design, packaging, small business marketing and consulting, advertising, PR including press releases and media packets, and much more. If it's related to marketing, it's likely I can do it (or I work with someone who can)!

Dave Whetten was the V.P. of Marketing at Groen Brothers Aviation (GBA) for several years. During this time I worked with him to create marketing plans for American Autogyro (a subsidiary of GBA that no longer exists), create marketing materials, writing and editing PR materials including press releases and press materials, creating a new website, doing research, and generally working on the back end with Dave. I was able to have an exceptionally high amount of involvement in the marketing campaign of the company, and I learned a lot from working so closely with him.

Way too many and quite varied! Professionally, I love graphic design, including identity, media, and web design. Working with small businesses allows me to use my experience in marketing and advertising as well as my artistic and creative abilities. I also loved human resources, and have been successful in sales positions. Personally, I love several things: music music music; I compose, sing, play the piano, guitar and flute, and have led several choirs. I love flowers, both floral design and gardening. I love to sew, bake, decorate, dance and write.
