ABOUT CRAIG
I am a third generation photographer and aspiring multi-media designer who seeks to make a positive impact in this world. I grew up in my grandparents' professional photography studio located in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. It was they and my parents who nurtured my strong creative drive and work ethic.
In school I pursued interests in both Arts and Law, graduated as a National Merit Scholar and subsequently received my Visual Communications degree from Collins College. My path led to a 15 year career with a high-profile Houston, Texas law firm. I launched my own consulting firm in 2010 and signed my previous employer as my first client. Over the past few years I have successfully expanded my client roster to include prominent law firms, major luxury retailers, small businesses and other professionals in Arizona and Texas.
I currently reside in South Phoenix with my husband where we enjoy spending weekends with our large extended family. I fill my spare time with everything from reading a good book to working on various personal creative projects.
