Highlights

I care about art, design, identity and research. I develop concepts, magnify meaning and generate results. My work is meant to be clean, concise, contemporary and interesting—not just to myself but to my clients and partners.

I have more than 15 years experience as a design and marketing professional (i.e. fast-paced, detail-oriented, deadlines/solutions/results). I bring strong skills in art direction, visual & marketing communications and strategic web development along with a commitment to creativity, leadership, innovation and strategic thinking.

Put another way, I help people find their voice and tell their stories. My work is clean, contemporary, concise. I am not the typical 'prima donna' designer; I let my work do the talking. I prefer to zig when others zag.

Additional Skills:	I am an artist: Just like a writer benefits from a seasoned editor, a musician from a dedicated manager, a crafts-person from a skilled mentor, or an actor from a visionary director, I can help define, develop and deliver your project. Whether I use code or copy, paint or PR, I make meaningful things. I am a designer: With the right frame, a great picture becomes a work of art. With the right elements, a good show becomes an unforgettable experience. With the right approach, a smart idea becomes brilliant. Design is a process to arrive at practical, effective and successful solutions. From conception to completion, I can focus and refine your strategy to achieve your objectives—with attitude. I am a storyteller: Our identities are our stories; the stories we tell ourselves and the stories we tell others. I will help you find your voice and tell your story using the best tools. I can assemble, synthesize and distill your message to its essential form. I value clarity, sincerity, intuition and thoughtfulness—and don't forget fun! I am a detective: I listen—at the beginning of the project to help define the problem, during its design and development, and at the end to evaluate outcomes and make adjustments. I help you define your task; develop your search; locate, access and use information; synthesize and implement solutions; evaluate and refine the process and products.
