Expertise

Anything Visual, a lot of Instruction, and a ton of Production. Websites, Branding, Publications, Non Profits…

Lately (Click Me)

I get a lot of content-heavy projects these days, complex navigation structures, wireframs, and mapping.

Training

Hands-on and Virtual Instruction in Adobe Creative Suite Applications and more.

Visual Communications

Visual Support & Information Design like these neighborhood maps (shown right) come up on a regular basis. I usually get 2 days notice if I’m lucky to get these little things ready for the next magazine issue. But time flies when you’re nerding out. See more examples here or pick up an issue of San Diego Magazine. You’ll see these in various layouts featuring select California neighborhoods.

Adobe Professional Instruction

For 7 Years and Counting I have been an Adobe Professional Instructor on contract with several Training Providers throughout the U.S. In addition to hands-on classroom training, I also lead virtual training sessions that reach students here and abroad. I specialize in 2-3 day intensive courses on InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat Pro, and most recently Wordpress. Learn More
