... and after more than forty years I continue to do what I genuinely love. The concept of semi-retirement and putting my feet up has never seemed particularly appealing.
So, I'm still designing — for discerning clients, for businesses that care about how they present themselves, and for anyone who appreciates thoughtful advertising, beautifully designed brochures, striking posters and exquisite typography.
If you have something that needs designing, give me a call, email or text. And if it needs printing too, I can take care of that. I work only with printers whose quality I know and trust, so the finished piece looks every bit as good as the design.
And because you're dealing directly with an experienced designer rather than what's out in the market place, you may be pleasantly surprised by what I charge — have a look.
