My skills include relationship building, Marketing Strategies, Web and Graphic Design production, and unique ideas. I create awareness and results through captivating campaigns.

I can implement solutions for you that anticipate client needs in an effort to satisfy them and solve their problems.

The Origin of My Creativity

In 1997 I studied, drafted, and ultimately began designing graphics for local artists in the Philadelphia area. It was only a matter of time before I elevated my efforts, using my design knowledge as a gateway to Website Design and Development. Juggling between odd jobs in 2002, I assisted in the marketing and sales for a music business company from the ground floor up. A few months later I was hired as the Lead Designer of a 30+ page website for a Foundation established in memory of a great music industry icon.

Intentionally, my graphic and website skills branched out into CD-Rom design and development. By providing content via a "convenience" based medium, I realized that CD-Rom marketing gave companies and clients a cutting edge advantage in regards to delivering their products, services, and mission statement. Merging these three honed abilities yielded a demand and increased profit potential for all involved.

Graphic Design:

Artistic expression is everywhere...but how do you stand out in the crowd? My concepts mainly come from looking at ideas and suggestions viewed in various altered states (as opposed to just "black & white or simply ordinary).Benefit to You:Visual exposure that is compelling and stands out.

When designing a website, my main concern is not only to allow a client to obtain a more credible stance in the market but to gain a Web Presence. As a designer, I speak fluently through colors, layout, and imagination. A friendly and practical navigation menu is vital as well. Benefit to You:Effectively reach out on a Gloabal Level.

CD-ROM Marketing:

When designing and developing a marketing CD-Rom, attention is given primarily to building up the reputation of clients. I place focused emphasis on "convenience" at the hands of potential new customers, clients, or associates.Benefit to You:It helps increase your credibility and worth by delivering your business goals conveniently to your target audience.

PR and Public Speaking:
