about

I’m passionate about the ability of good design to communicate complex ideas in a simple way and generate measurable results for my clients. I’ve worked with large national brands (and small local businesses when I can). I’ve held positions at Organic and Ikonic Interactive—and freelanced at Apple, Macromedia, McCann Erickson, Eleven, and Publicis Modem among others. I’ve even put my time in at a couple of startups. I do branding work, web and print design, and an occasional advertising assignment. I believe that building brand affinity is about engaging people emotionally and making a relevant connection at their level—via smart, inspired and memorable creative ideas.
