About
From concept to press.
Senior graphic designer in Seattle. At Wilmar LLC since 2016, designing for Performance Tool and its sister brands.
My work covers the whole path from idea to shelf: I design the packaging, shoot product photography, lay out the catalogs and promotions, and prepare final files for domestic and overseas printers.
I work directly with sales, product development and marketing. A typical project starts with a product sample and a spec sheet and ends with print-ready packaging, often in two or three languages.
I’m looking for a remote senior role in graphic, brand, packaging or marketing design, and I take on select freelance projects.
Outside of work I photograph landscapes and wildlife around the Pacific Northwest.
