My experience in web and graphic design date back to 1996, when I started a home-based consulting business. Through the years, I have designed numerous websites, brochures, flyers, posters, business cards, and booklets for a variety of clients and employers.

In 2001, I became employed with the Mendocino Private Industry Council, where I redesigned and maintained two websites, created a new look and logo for the organization, and redesigned all company brochures, flyers, and posters.

Graphic design is one of my great passions in life—something which never fails to intrigue and excite me, which is why I love to teach it. Since I have been working at Mendocino College, I have been able to produce websites and brochures here as well.

With the advancing technolgoy we all are experiencing, I have found great joy in producing graphic designs for personal use such as working with family photos, creating family websites, cards, and even wedding invitations.

My education includes an A.A. Degree from Skyline College (San Bruno, CA) where I majored in the Fine Arts and Philosophy. Two years ago I also obtained a Website Graphic Design Career Certificate from Santa Rosa Junior College.

I am married and have three children, who are the joy of my life. I hope you enjoy the class and learn a lot.
