Advertising Design

SCROLL DOWN TO VIEW PORTFOLIO

Display AdvertisingI began designing display advertising while an intern at a local entertainment magazine. This was before design was commonly done on a computer. By 1989 I was publishing my own magazine and designing and writing many of the ads in the magazine.

In 1995 I decided to pursue a career in advertising and marketing and began working as a freelance graphic artist for some of the top agencies in the country and learning under the sharpest minds in the business. In only a few years I worked my way up from production artist to Senior Art Director.

By the end of the 20th century I had enough experience to venture out on my own and become a freelance creative director, and advertising and marketing consultant. Since then I have created hundred of display ads for scores of small businesses.
