As a seasoned art director and designer, my channel experience spans traditional print, design, photography, and illustration, covering mailers, banners, and CRM. My expertise later expanded into digital media, including video production, social media content, digital out-of-home, event and experiential marketing, interior design, photography, and illustration. With over twenty years of industry experience and a passion for automotive enthusiasm, I bring a unique and diverse skill set to every project.
