After graduating from Carnegie Mellon University with a degree in Illustration, and working in both canvas paintings for interior designers and a small printing company, I settled into a 17-year career at first Penton Publishing, then Penton Media, Inc. I started as an Illustrator, but advanced to design and ended up taking my magazine through the process of being the first Penton publication to m

My illustration background, technical skill, design ability and connections to some of the city’s finest illustrators, photographers and writers makes me uniquely qualified to get your project done perfectly and on budget.
