How did you get into Graphic Design?
Well, I can’t imagine doing anything else. Ever since I was 5 years old I was always creating some kind of art. I just always knew I’d be in the art field in some way. I really consider myself more of a visual communicator as opposed to just a graphic designer. My graphic design borrows from my fine art in many ways. Impact, composition, and rhythm are very important to a successful visual design, whether it is for a painting or an ad in the newspaper. The visual has to hook you in and keep you there.

Where did you get your education?
I graduated in 1986 with a BA in Fine Art and Graphic Design from State University of New York at Plattsburgh. I feel really fortunate having gone to a university that is part of the New York State System. We got a lot of guest speakers from New York City. Both Fine Artists and Advertising professionals visited our school. Artists like Sandy Skoglund came and lectured or gave workshops.
