Background

After working in the grocery field for 7 years and working up to customer service manager, I started my education in graphic design in 1999. I earned a computer science degree in 2001 specializing in web and multimedia. I was hired in 2001 by a company that recorded conferences all over the world. I was in charge of the design and development of interactive CD-ROMs and DVDs containing conference materials, audio and video. I eventually created a graphics department in the company, heading up to 6 employees where I was in charge of all the design and creation of media, flyers, order forms, disc packaging, and web projects for the company.

I started j.p. studio designs in 2003; my former school put me in contact with a company that recorded conferences and was looking for my skills to deliver content to attendees. From there, I received calls from similar companies and before long, I was producing content on disc and web for a number of recording companies. I then started doing my own media printing and duplication. Today, most of my projects are web based for a variety small businesses in industries including insurance, real estate, construction, lending, beauty, medical, and more. Some conference recording client industries include psychiatry/law, various medical fields, healthcare, healthcare marketing, training (workplace, nursing, etc.), and wine making/enology/viticulture. In addition to taking care of my client’s web needs, I provide graphic design for any printed materials they may need such as business cards, flyers, trade show banners/signage, table throws, order forms, product packaging, brochures, and what ever else.
