ONLINE PORTFOLIO

This online portfolio differs from the portfolio book presented in person at job interviews in the following ways:

--The portfolio book contains more samples of work from my current work at Superior Sewing Machine and my 2004 internship at PACE. These samples are omitted from the online version out of respect for the confidentiality of the client. The icon appears next to these projects which appear in the portfolio book but are omitted from the online version. Please email your inquiry about these projects to learn more about what they entailed.

--The online version includes more samples of work done at White Jade Design and on a volunteer basis for The Mudpuppy, a magazine distributed throughout Northern and Central New Jersey.

--The online version presents many web pages as they originally appeared on their respective sites with only minor adjustments. As a result, links contained therein may no longer be valid. Please do not click on any link outside of "BACK TO HOMEPAGE" and "[email protected]" links which were added to and appears on the top and bottom of each of these pages.

--The online version presents a few of the samples in slightly different format, presentation, and layout compared to their print versions. Some pieces were adapted from html to word format and vice versa for presentation either on the White Jade website and/or for the portfolio book. This is especially true on the SPEC JOURNAL ARTICLES/BROCHURES and on the writing samples from Ideale Publishing. The core content, however, has been retained from the original.
