I've been an artist for as long as I can remember and what I remember are the books that lined my family's garage, all Science Fiction, my dad's collection of years, dating back to around 1912. Amazing, Astounding, and more...I was hooked on the cover imagery, and that is where my love for the "book cover" began. Over my career, I spent several years designing movie posters, for me they are big book covers. Writing was another story. Professionally I was an Graphic Designer, until I started working in the Advertising industry and was assigned the title of Senior Art Director. I found I was actually pretty good at developing headlines and setting the basic tone for advertising campaigns that a copywriter would complete in more detail. Years later, after many books of poems and inspirational thoughts and my son was all grown up, I began writing a book on parenting (which won two honorable mentions) and writing became another passion. My business savy developed from over 25 years of having my own advertising, design, marketing and merchandising business. I've worked with many different industries and have assisted many companies set up, create, design, develop and manufacture products and services. The above experiences bring me to where I am now. I offer creative concept, graphic design, coaching and consulting for authors, experts and small business on processes that cover: branding, book concept of subject, product creation, design, promotion and how to create and manage their web-presence. Complete Design and Consulting Services for your book, business, service & products.
My graphics background is in advertising, marketing, branding, corporate collateral, logo design, brochures, ad campaigns, movie posters, annual reports, packaging design, product merchandising, etc.. I have designed projects for companies such as: Coca Cola, Pepsi, Jack-In-The-Box, Toyota, Microsoft, Raytheon, Cedars Siani, Pinkerton, IHOP, CPK, TransAmerica Corp., Northrop, Boeing and many more. The above affiliations included many hours at the printers performing presschecks on the many pieces of collateral and packaging I designed. I understand the presses and what is possible. However, I believe it's my advertising experience that enhances my attention to how your cover will look, when it's in book stores or posted online, your tiny little thumbnail image... yep!... the one that is to catch the attention of your prospective reader, this is where my covers shine!
