About Me

I am an Arizona-based Senior Graphic Designer with over 30 years of experience bridging creative art direction, production design, and technical workflow optimization. Currently at Explore K12, I focus on making digital products usable, equitable, and PDF/UA-compliant to meet the strict Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). My background spans the full spectrum of media—from leading high-volume production design and artwork prep at Lisa Frank, Inc., to designing collateral for Pearson, to instructing digital arts at Pima Community College.

Holding a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Illustration from the University of Arizona, along with web development training, I combine strong visual art fundamentals with technical problem-solving skills. Over three decades in the field, I’ve developed a reputation as a go-to troubleshooter for software and production bottlenecks—especially within the Adobe Creative Suite. Whether I am managing font libraries, establishing standardized templates, or guiding teams through complex design workflows across Mac and Windows platforms, I build clean, accessible, and highly efficient creative solutions.
