I grew up in a rural part of the central Susquehanna Valley of Pennsylvania. I've always loved drawing and after a vocational curriculum in Commercial Art, during my junior and senior years of high school, I moved to Denver, Colorado. My art education was nurtured at the Art Institute of Colorado where I earned a degree in Advertising Design. I have contributed over thirty years of graphic design expertise in advertising and publishing for a diverse list of clients and I am currently freelancing in metro Detroit, MI. My present focus is on mastering InDesign, Illustrator and the world of web design through CSS. I enjoy honing my artistic skills on a regular basis. In my spare time, I enjoy drawing, reading, knitting, walking and riding bike. I love music and creating raw live food cuisine. I can be reached at bourgeaudesign@comcast.net
