GRAPHIC DESIGN

Before I became a photographer, I was a graphic designer.

My first job out of art school was in the lettering department of Gibson Greeting Cards in Cincinnati, where I developed a unique, flowing calligraphy style that is perfect for hand-lettered greeting cards, invitations, envelopes and poetry. I have also worked as a freelance illustrator for books, as a graphic designer, and in marketing and sales.

I have applied this experience to designing special finishing effects for photographs, as well as the following items:

  • Announcements
  • Invitations
  • Save-the-date cards
  • Greeting cards
  • Thank-you cards
  • Note cards
  • Postcards
  • Direct mail
  • Event programs
  • Menus
  • Posters
  • Personalized CD/DVD covers
  • Montages
  • Collages
  • Custom calendars
  • Custom illustrations
  • Custom photo albums
  • Coffee-table books
  • Hard-bound books
  • Soft-cover books
  • Logos
  • Brochures
  • Letterhead
  • Business Cards

Have something specific in mind? We can use photographs and illustrations that I create for you, or you can supply personal photos or your own digital files.
