About me

Creative Director and Independent Graphic Design Contractor under my independent company: SD Creative Services. Located in Santa Clarita, California, servicing Southern California and beyond. Specializing in all aspects of digital design for print, web, and display work. My goal is to be a strategic partner for my clients and enhance an already existing brand image, or build a new one from the ground up. I value relationships and can pull the various talents together for your needs, no matter how involved the project. Listen. Create. Deliver.

I have been a successful Design leader for a national recruitment and employee communications agency. Prior to that, another ten years of experience in art direction and graphic design/production with both freelance work and various ad agencies.
