My goals are to save you money, make your organization successful, and have fun doing it.
A native Oregonian, Brook has been involved in the graphic design and printing industry in the Portland area since 1986. He was a General Manager for over six years, a Production Manager and Offset Press Operator for over fifteen years, and a Graphic Designer and Photographer during his entire 30+ year career.
"I'm happy to supply ideas, options and estimates at no obligation...Don’t over-spend on web design, photography or printing! As an independent broker, I hand-pick the best vendor for every project. Many of my vendor relationships go back for decades. My (green/wind-powered) home-based office means low overhead. My prices are exceptional, and all products are 100% satisfaction guaranteed.
