Thoughts on Design
“Creating visual communications is akin to building a bridge connecting a message with an audience. Through planning and support, the bridge stands; the message carries across. When lacking, it falls. Design is a solid foundation that empowers a message to reach its intended audience, not across board or steel, but spanning multiple media.”
Design Director
Wearing the mantle of Design Director, I manage the creative process, ensuring that deliverables yield results that are creatively-excellent, mission-centric, and technically-proficient. The process I employ keeps my team inspired and organized, and fosters an environment of camaraderie, idea creation, and best practice to provide the maximum reach for our collective efforts.
Design Practitioner
Hands-on as a Design Practitioner, I provide companies and organizations with exceptional creative strategies that promote brands, products, and services. I champion such communications—through the visual disciplines of identity, print and Web design. My work has received numerous awards within employer’s fields of industry and garnered top honors from design competitions.
Design Portfolio
Here you’ll find a decade’s worth of work, arranged by “projects”, rather than by specific design category. I’ve arranged it as such since today’s multi-layered market reach requires varying design disciplines, and often includes some form of identity, print and Web design in their iterations. You’ll find these disciplines represented throughout the projects found in the portfolio.
