Résumé

I Design.

To design means more than simply making something look good. Designing is the creation of solutions that achieve goals—the goals of my clients, and more importantly, the goals of my clients’ clients. From one-off pieces to full campaigns requiring branding, printed collateral, and digital components, the design must spring from a strategy to achieve measurable results. This is best achieved when there is a talented team with the drive and passion to create compelling work that performs. I’ve been fortunate to be a part of such teams for almost 25 years. Regardless of my role in the team, my purpose is to design. This portfolio represents a sampling of my design work over the years. My credentials are below for your review. Thank you for your time.
