Graphic Design and Promotions

I LOVE WHAT I DO

Visual communication is the key to success. My passion to promote others has empowered a small entertainment group to grow as the premier shadow cast of the Hudson Valley.  I am enthusiastic about expanding my skills as a promoter and visual communicator.  Allow my contributions and expertise to make your projects and events shine!
