Blue Pine Design is where my graphic design and creative spirit lives — a running archive spanning more than thirty years. Some of it was for clients, some for organizations, some just for the thrill of designing to keep my creative brain fed. It’s not a storefront, but a quiet gallery of creativity. I update it occasionally with new design projects that excited me to bring to life. Come on in and have a browse.

Good design is quiet work done well — in service of the message, not the designer.

I’ve spent more than thirty years in graphic design — most of it in print, with the rest in whatever digital and multimedia work came along. My practice spans corporate identity, event promotions, publications, logos, large format, signage, and the full range of promotional work that keeps organizations visible to the people they serve. I’m currently the publicist and graphic designer for a public library.

Blue Pine Design is where that work lives. It’s named for the thousands of blue spruce, pine, lilac, and cottonwoods my father planted around our family farm — a tribute I quietly carry into the mark itself.

Outside the design practice, I have acted on stage and screen, served in the US Navy, and advocate quietly for the voices worth championing.
