Using the latest computer technology I can create illustrations for a concept from thought to product, including the marketing graphics, engineering plans, and instructional forms.

Known companies include: Ford Motor Corp, NexPress solutions, GM, Cocoa Cola, Bausch & Lomb, Kodak, Johnson & Johnson and Eastview Mall. There is no company that is too big or too small that can't benefit from our illustrations and explanations to increase the security and marketability of their products. (03/05)
