40+ Years of Experience Working as a Freelance Photographer
When you work with me, you are working with someone who has a very efficient approach to design, publishing, and photography. Communication is important to streamline the project and accomplish the project successfully.
My approach is thorough, and I keep the flow of every project moving quickly and effectively.
I have been a designer for over 15 years, specializing in advertising designs, flyer designs, magazine layouts, catalog designs, cover designs, sales material designs, brochure designs, rack card designs, post card designs, book layout designs, and much more.
I am very passionate about my work and put my all into every single design job. I am very organized, which comes from my years of experience when in New York as a photographer, working with art directors, casting agents, bookers at modeling agencies, and magazine editors. My work as appeared in countless publications throughout the world. I’ve also had the opportunity to work with celebrities—Joe Namath, Liza Minnelli, Larry Hagman—and quite a few corporate executives. I have a positive record of assisting clients in the creation and design from concept to completion.
I have enjoyed bringing my business to Upwork because it is a great platform where I have the opportunity to be offered inspiring and fascinating projects of design and photography work. I would love the opportunity to speak with you further and present my qualifications in detail.
