Welcome — and thanks for taking the time to visit!
Helping ad agencies, businesses (small & large) as well as individuals with design solutions for over 25 years has been an exciting and sometimes challenging trip in this ever-changing business.
My core philosophy has always been the same — deliver the best possible creative solution for a fair price. I'm just as comfortable working as an individual contributor or as a team
leader. I'd like to put my skills and experience to work for you. Please take a few minutes to review my
work samples or you may like to download
a pdf containing samples
as well.
I
started Talon Graphics in July 1991. Prior to that
I worked at Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for 16 years.
While at DEC I went from working in the printing and literature distribution center in Northboro to leading a group of 17 people in the Media Communications Group (MCG) located in Bedford. I was fortunate enough to be working at one of the largest high-tech companies in the world just as the industry began to thrive. Technology was starting to transform almost every area of society — it was an exciting time, especially in the graphic design and printing industries — and I experienced it all first hand. It started a cycle of learning and exploring which I absolutely love. Today, this experience gives me a deep understanding of how the technology works and how to best implement it.
Over the years since DEC as a freelancer the variety of work, people and places has been remarkable. I have worked with large Fortune 500 companies, universities, non-profit organizations and local entrepreneurs. I have worked with marketing /ad agencies large and small. I've set up computers, installed software and trained people to use them. I've worked at printers providing design services and ripping files to Scitex film and/or plate making equipment. Most of all I've learned that learning never stops and to enjoy the journey.
