Welcome to my Portfolio!
My passion for photography and the desire to express my creativity is the driving force that led me to the transition into the Graphic Art Industry.
I am certified in Web Design and currently pursuing my degree in Visual Communications and Graphic Arts at Erie County Community College. I am on the Deans list and a member of the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society. I work full time and also enjoy freelance Graphic Arts, Web design and development.
I'm always on the lookout for projects, small or large. So please contact me if you need my services!
I like creating unique clean simple sites that are easy to understand and navigate. All my work complies with web standards, has a minimal use of flash, elegantly hand coded CSS and XHTML of course!

Designated Drivers of Buffalo contracted me to re-design their existing web site and provide a template for them to edit.
DDoby was very excited and happy with the unique updated look to target their audience.

This project was a two color job designed for the client who has a limited printing budget. Using a tasteful design of tints of two color can create an illusion of a full color print job. The purpose of the newsletter was to inform patients, staff and the community about a topic of choice.
