I am a freelance design professional with over 15 years of experience designing and building websites. With a background in creating print material such as fliers, postcards, business cards, publications, and posters, I specialize in providing affordable website design and WordPress development for individuals and small businesses. I am based in Portland, Oregon, but that doesn’t really matter. I have clients all over the country, and can easily work remotely.
In the past I have been everything from a fine art photographer to a retail comic book store owner.
I grew up in Denver, Colorado, where I published and sold minicomics while studying graphic design at the Metropolitan State College of Denver. Afterward I made a living selling art supplies, slinging espresso, and exhibiting my photography at numerous galleries and cafes. Later my lifelong love of comics prompted me to open a comic book store, which I operated for five years despite not making any money at it.
In 2006 I moved to Portland. Since arriving in the rainy northwest, I completed the Pacific Northwest College of Art’s Certificate Program in Design, and helped edit and publish Intense: Tales from the 2008 PNCA Graphic Novel Intensive, a collection of comics by participants in the PNCA’s Graphic Novel Intensive. I have also created posters and t-shirt designs for the H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival and the Portland Halloween Bazaar, and designed websites for many local businesses and individuals.
I occasionally blog about table top gaming. More recently I have been writing about 1980s comic books over at 1986 Comics. I have also been writing game reviews and miniature painting guides for TableTop Battles.
