Hello and welcome to my website. I have had a lifelong enthusiam for computers and graphics. Over the past 6 years I have focused on developing these skills to be a "one stop shop" for all your digital imaging, design, and layout needs.
Digital Imaging:
- Scanning of slides, negatives or prints
- Indexing and organizing slides, negatives or prints
- Digitally retouching and restoring images
- Compiling presentations such as websites, slideshows or books to preserve and present your memories
My introduction and initial passion for photography was through film and the darkroom. It wasn't long before I discovered that as much as I enjoyed the darkroom, it was essential for me to develop my digital skills to evolve as a photographer. Consequently, I made the switch to digital and became an Adobe Certified Expert in Photoshop CS3. My love for the analog format still remains though, and I have found a way to combine the two formats by developing a special interest in bringing film into the digital realm. I would love to help you preserve your memories, photos, and art.
Print Design and Layout:
- Brochure/Mailing design
- Business card or letterhead
- Menu design/Newsletter
- Any other printed material you may require
I received my certification in Print Design and Layout at San Francisco State University College of Extended Learning, where I was trained in today's most recent technology:
Adobe's CS3 Design Suite including Photoshop, Indesign, and Illustrator. I especially enjoy keeping the client's concept as central, with a simple, yet enticing design that strengthens rather than detracts from the content.
How can I help you?
- Do you have precious memories on film stored in a shoe box in your closet? Or maybe important pictures that are deteriorating? Or even digital images or film that are disorganized and could come to life in a book or slide show presentation?
- Are you a business that could benefit from an appealing presentation of your services or products in print or digital media?
- Are you a design professional or photographer who could use assistance from an independent contractor who will put the kind of care and attention into your work that you yourself would?
If so, please Contact me to discuss any of your ideas or projects. I offer a free inital consultation.
