about jay

I’m a detail-oriented graphic design specialist with 25 + years of experience managing, designing, and executing creative solutions for complex (and not so complex) communications challenges. My expertise includes identity programs, capital campaigns, print and collateral, magazine design, web design, package design, illustration, and signage programs. My creative and technical skill set includes strategic thinking, problem-solving, presentation skills, and a collaborative, team-oriented work ethic. I’m looking for opportunities where I can exercise my creative energy, enthusiasm, and multi-disciplinary experience.
