Biography

I was an Illustrator, Graphic Designer and Art Director with Hewlett-Packard Co. in Santa Rosa for twenty five years. I started my career in advertising design "pre-computers", designing and producing my work by hand. The introduction of computer-based-tools changed everything and to survive and grow I learned to adapt quickly to a fast-paced and constantly changing world, continually advancing my skills and learning new ones along the way. Moving to computers changed the way we work allowing us to accomplish things we never imagined possible when designing by hand. It has been and continues to be one wild ride...

Dear Jim - I cannot tell you what a pleasure it was working with you developing my website. I only had an inkling of what I wanted and you were so perceptive to my wishes, you knew what I was asking even when I couldn't find the right words. You had patience when I couldn't make up my mind, you took my few ideas and ran with them and you made my site professional looking and exactly what I wanted. I get many compliments on it.
Thank you!

From the moment we started the project, Jim’s experience and project skills were apparent. He clearly explained the process of creating and developing the site, and we worked out a rough schedule so I knew what to expect. One of his first design concepts was right on the mark of what I was looking for. I enjoyed working with Jim throughout the development process, from the first design concepts to the final tweaking of the page layouts. Jim’s knowledge and professional experience also helped me with tasks like copy writing and editing the site to optimize it for search engines. I am happy to recommend DESIGNSHOP for professional website development services.

An artist friend suggested that I post my photo on my bio page, so here it is. I'm in the middle, that's Harry my older cousin to my left and that's "Poochie" on my other left.
I don't get what good it does, after all, I am older and you wouldn't recognize me from this photo, but hey! I always listen, and that's important in my line of work...
