As a freelance graphic designer, I design logos for business and organizations. Currently a graphic artist for the State of Oregon, I design logos for various programs, conferences, and associations. Here are some logo design samples — the link below opens in Acrobat Reader.

An interesting fact: The moment anything is created whether it be written or drawn, the creator owns the copyright  —  that's the law. Copyright can only be transferred in a written legally binding agreement signed by the creator of the work stating they are transferring their rights to you. Saying you own it because you paid for it doesn't make it legal fact. If you do not have a written agreement from the creator of the artwork, specifically transferring the copyright to you, you do not own the copyright to those graphics.

Here are some examples of posters I've designed for the World Beat Festival, an annual summer celebration of culture and diversity. I've been involved with this festival from it's beginnings, donating much of the graphic design work for this wonderful celebration that brings people of all cultural heritages together for a weekend of music, dance, art, and great food.

I have also designed publications for Oregon OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) for the past 10 years, covering topics from Agriculture to Young worker safety.
