Who I Am

Who is your celebrity doppelganger?

Apparently I look like Tea Leoni (according to a celebrity look-a-like website).

Have you ever cried at a movie?  Which one?

There have been several, but the first movie I cried at was Bambi. Poor Bambi's mom…sniff, sniff.

In high school, your nickname was…

Let's keep that in the past.

Do you have a pet peeve?

People who do not use their turn signals, and double spaces after periods in body copy…we don't use typewriters anymore people.

How I Got Here

Education:

Professional Experience:

In addition to working for 6 years as a Graphic Designer and Art Director for a local advertising agency, I had my own freelance design business.

I am given the chance to explore design for a large variety of clients in different fields of business, plus I am able to expand my design skills into web and keep up with all the new/various design trends.
