--------ore than thirty five years in the gift and jewelry industry has seasoned and educated me in the way products are manufactured and distributed and how small companies are developed and promoted.

Having also been college trained in graphic arts at San Francisco Academy of Art, San Jose State and San Francisco State University I have applied this training and skill-set to many stages of my career in the wholesale and retail world.

Logo designs, brochure and catalog creation and printing, trade show displays, video promotionals, power point presentations, sales logistics, assembly dynamics, even shipping procedures and other seemingly mundane and overlooked aspects of growing and promoting a business are part of my accumulated knowledge base.

I have even had prototypes created and items manufactured in China while there on different trips visiting packaging and fabricating facilities.
(see: JourneysIntoChina.com )

All the while realizing that I do not and cannot "do it all" by myself.
It is my connection to this widespread collection of people and services around the world who do specific things and do them well and do them more affordably than a neophyte entrepreneur might normally encounter.

These are my associates, and that is what
additivity is:
me and my associates.
The amalgamation of relationships combined with my own specific skills is where my value lies.

Why the name
"additivity?" (see here)*

Please, I invite you to
contact me to discuss and plan how my services might help grow your business.
