History
I started my design journey back in 1984 at a small but groundbreaking company called Broderbund Software in the San Rafael/Novato, CA area. It was an exciting place to be. I worked with the creative team behind beloved classics like Print Shop, Lode Runner, and Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego.


After years in real estate and appraisal work, I returned to design full-time, bringing my creative eye to Gateway Real Estate before transitioning to freelance work.

Today, I collaborate with clients worldwide through Upwork, delivering custom graphics, logos and illustrations.

Skills and expertise
Over the years, I’ve honed my skills in creating eye-catching layouts, designing for both print and web, and turning ideas into polished, professional visuals. I work extensively in Adobe Illustrator, designing logos, crafting custom illustrations, and converting raster images into crisp, scalable vector graphics.

What I like to do
I truly enjoy helping people bring their ideas to life, whether it’s a full project or just one perfect image they’ve been picturing. My happy place is working with vector graphics in Adobe Illustrator, blending creativity with precision to make something that feels just right.
