I specialize in creating one-of-a-kind web sites and print materials for individual artists and crafts people, and arts-related businesses and organizations.

> Client List

Sites for Individual Artists and Craftspeople
My designs present artwork and craft objects to their best advantage through considered use of technology, site architecture, page design, and color.

I understand the communications needs of artists and craftspeople:

• as an artist I know what matters to individuals putting their art and craft on the web and into print,

• as a critic I know how valuable good promotional materials can be for your career, and

• as a designer I know how to organize information and present artwork in a clear, creative way to appeal to multiple audiences.

I work with my clients to structure web and print design projects to fit within their budgets while leveraging the interrelationships between the web and print media.

Sites for Arts-related Businesses and Non-Profits
I meet the needs of schools, galleries, publications and arts organizations with creative web sites and print materials including brochures, postcards, and ads.
