In graphic design, I am expert in Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. Over years of cultivating an expertise in color scanning I have simultaneously realized a rare fluency in CMYK color correction in the Photoshop environment. Combining images and typography and space is to me an art that needs to be approached with the philosophical spirit of the artist: create a piece that has both inherent beauty and catalyzing information, a piece that may have an edge in design, but also carries a meaningful message. My repertoire includes book, booklet, magazine, newspaper, brochure, direct mail, poster, newsletter, web page and sign design.
As part of my vocation within a monastery complex for 25 years I have been deeply engaged in the art of publishing—from running a Heidelburg Press to book and magazine design to being a lead designer/developer for websites that involved publishing, education, nonprofit, history, artifacts and ecommerce.
The exacting and creative demands of graphic design translate very well into web design—where in a limited space the designer needs to create elements that are aesthetic, unique, psychologically attractive to the site's natural or broad audience, easy and intuitive to navigate, very functional and engineered to rank high on Google, Yahoo! and other search engines.
