Awards & Merits
I worked as a print designer for many years. The awards mentioned on this page were awarded for my print design work. I believe this background enhances my skill as a web developer.
My work was awarded First Place in the 2007 CalFest Awards for a special event called the Haunted Theatre in the area of Promotional Poster and T-Shirt Design under $50,000.
The Kingston Trio was so impressed with the postcard I designed to advertise their performance, they expressed interest in procuring the design.
My greatest reward has been creating winning marketing materials that met my customers' needs and have compelled the audience to take action. The Candy Cane postcard is an example of one of many designs that resulted in a sold-out dance.
Western City Magazine chose a photo I took for the cover of their April 2007 issue to acknowledge that the City of Fairfield won a League of California Cities Award of Excellence.
