Illuminator

Someone who makes clear by explanation or analysis; to shed light

I have been in the printing business since 1986 when I started in the graphics darkroom as a “stripper” for Steffen Publishing. (It’s a printer’s term, look it up!)

Over the years I’ve worked hard to become proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite of programs specializing in InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. My skill set has expanded over the years to include copy editing, website building, marketing, search engine optimization, and photography.

I feel that my well-rounded experience brings added value to my clients with whom I’ve built strong relationships. I regularly make money-saving recommendations, keep records, track changes to client’s files, and provide reminders to help the client stay on schedule. I am here to help my clients achieve their goals whether those goals are to build traffic to their sites, increase attendance to their events, improve communication with customers or to offload work and make their jobs a little easier.

I am the owner/operator of Rowlands Graphics which was founded in 2010.
