Hire the Best Format & Layout Specialists in California

Hello! I'm Toni, a seasoned graphic designer with a strong foundation in both print and digital design. My journey has been deeply rooted in print design, having honed my skills as an in-house graphic designer and printer at a reputable print and mail processing company. This role equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the entire print production process, enabling me to deliver design projects that are not only visually compelling but also seamless in execution. I possess a keen eye for detail and a unique perspective, driven by my life experiences and personal interests, which infuse originality into every project I undertake. While my primary focus is on print design, I am adept at making the subtle transitions necessary for digital design. Seeking to expand my creative horizons, I am now delving into package and presentation design, offering services at discounted rates as I enrich my portfolio. Flexibility is key in my freelance career, ensuring I meet your design deadlines with precision and creativity. Let's collaborate to bring your vision to life, from layout to the final print-ready product. Feel free to view some of my work samples and connect with me to discuss your next project.

My design aptitude focuses around aspects of desktop publishing, layout, logo design, flat vector art, website design, presentations, motion graphics, video editing and other various digital and print collateral (i.e., business cards, brochures, flyers, white papers, etc.). My software aptitude stems from Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere), Acrobat Pro, Audio Software (Audacity, Digital Performer) and website content management systems (Squarespace, Weebly, Parature). Words paint a mental image. Pictures tell a story. The convergence of the two methods of conveying a message to engage with an audience is singularly a more effective means. From simplistic information to complex data, the message should be displayed in a manner that is not only easily understandable, but also leaving a memorable and lasting impression. I am a proponent of telling a story by combining the two in varying marketing collateral and outreach campaigns. My focus is ALWAYS the utmost satisfaction of the client. I work to not only complete projects in a timely manner, but to also complete the project that exceeds the clients desires and to provide an enjoyable experience in doing so. I look forward to possibly working with you. Thanks.

I turn designs into accurate, press-ready production files. Many clients already have a design — they need an experienced production specialist to adapt it for dielines, printer specifications, and manufacturing. I bring 20+ years of production experience, including running the in-house prepress department at West Marine (national catalogs, 800+ pages, sub-1% error rate) and leading packaging production at McDill Associates for national brands including Costco, Kirkland Signature, Kroger, Martinelli's, and Rainbow Light. I've also directed book production (50+ covers/interiors annually, 95%+ first-pass acceptance for KDP and IngramSpark) and produced FDA-compliant CPG packaging, including a 6-SKU sunscreen line. Packaging & Product Artwork • FDA-compliant packaging and multi-SKU management • Dieline artwork placement and packaging updates • Vendor and press coordination for national brands Book & Publication Production • Book interior formatting and layout • Converting manuscripts to InDesign • Print-ready files for publishers, offset printers, and POD platforms Print & Large Format • Point-of-sale displays and retail signage • Trade show booths and popup displays • Banners and environmental graphics If you need technically accurate files that printers can run without issues, let's talk.

Investors decide whether to keep reading in the first thirty seconds. If your deck doesn't make the opportunity clear immediately, the meeting doesn't happen. I design pitch decks for founders raising capital, venture funds presenting to LPs, and executive teams making the case to boards and institutional audiences. My work includes a Series A tech startup deck, LP presentations for two venture funds, an investment banking deck for a family office, and corporate strategy presentations for Fortune 1000 clients including Discover Financial and Aramark. As a produced television writer, I structure every engagement around narrative before I touch a slide. Where is the argument soft? Where does the eye have nowhere to land? I fix those first, then build a visual system that holds through the full deck. What you get at a flat fee agreed before I start: • Narrative audit and slide sequence review • Visual direction and three sample slides before the full build • Full deck built on a consistent grid with clean typography and data visualization • One revision pass and handoff files in your preferred format I also design book interiors for KDP and IngramSpark, with publisher credits through Warner Books, Hachette, and Penguin. If that's what you need, it's in my portfolio. Send me your deck or your raw copy and tell me where you are in the raise. I'll tell you what it needs.
