About

I believe quality design is a matter of necessity. While taste and visual appeal are open to personal interpretation, design quality and information architecture should not suffer from aesthetic opinion. Message clarity and visual logic are key factors in determining design quality.

I am founder of EzPages.Pro, an online website builder that offers affordable and secure DIY (do-it-yourself) and DIFY (do-it-for-you) website solutions focused on start-ups and small businesses as well as larger organizations and individuals.

With more than 20 years spent in visual communications from the bottom up, I draw on my hands-on practical knowledge to solve design problems. I have been hired by fellow designers, agencies, colleges, businesses and corporations both in the US and abroad. At one time or another I have served in many creative positions including graphics editor, junior designer, senior designer, web designer, print specialist, assistant director, creative director, art director and branding and communications manager.
