Thank you for visiting my online portfolio!

My work as a graphic and web designer has given me so much joy and satisfaction since 1984 when I began my career working at a print shop while attending college at Iowa State University. Professionally, I consider myself a ‘hybrid’ of sorts – I have ink in my veins, as they say in the printing business, but I also find great enjoyment as a front-end web developer, specifically WordPress, html, css, etc. The graphic shown above represents a WordPress site that I recently designed for United Credit Service Inc., based in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. Aside from design and web development services, I provide my clients with quality digital and offset printing, expertly decorated logo apparel, league uniforms, corporate gifts and advertising specialities. I partner with local vendors as much as possible, but also work with national suppliers to ensure that my clients receive the best possible quality and price.

If you would like an estimate on any type of printing or web development project, decorated apparel, uniforms, or corporate gifts, please feel free to contact me by calling 815-370-3555 or by filling out the form below. My resume can be viewed here.
