Over the years I have donated my design work to various organizations including the Hoboken 9/11 Memorial Committee, Jubilee Center of Hoboken (for Children), The Central Avenue Special Improvement District, www.jcheights.com, Actors Shakespeare Company at NJCU, www.ascnj.org,  Hudson Theatre Ensemble,www.hudsontheatreensemble.com and Chameleon Theatre Company Ltd, http://chameleontheatrecompanyltd.org.

A few years ago, I launched this line of environmental concept t-shirts to promote “green” living. They are meant to be suggestive, for example, encouraging people to ride a bicycle or to stop littering. The response to these t-shirts was quite positive, but I knew there was still more I could do. I was inspired to make a greater impact environmentally, using my graphic design skills.

In April 2009, I partnered with Mary Jo Rhodes, author of nature books, to create a custom blog, FROGS ARE GREEN, with which we hope to increase awareness about the massive worldwide amphibian decline (up to one-third of species are threatened with extinction). Because frogs are an indicator species of a healthy environment, we also hope to spread the message that healthy frogs mean a healthy planet for all.

The joy of working on this blog has been that we are reaching people all over the world who care about our cause, and it’s a great way to spread our message.
