So I will try to keep this short and sweet. As of February 5th, 2012 I have been designing for about five years and finally decided to put some of my most recent work up for you – the public to view. In that time I have gone through hard drives upon hard drives of some pretty decent work that I have somehow managed to lose…I know. However I do have a good collective of media that I have produced over the past years that showcase some of my stronger assets. I have acquired a certain set of skills that help me attack projects conceptually and visually. An arsenal ranging from, web design, CSS3, print, branding and identity. With ever growing knowledge of the following programs: Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, InDesign, and a few more that get some play once in a great moon. These programs can not be mastered. Acquiring knowledge through my educational period, I was informed that even after my degree these programs will continue to develop and with the basics on lock it is up to me to teach myself some of the new changes.
Between all the clients, I do find the time to keep learning and sharpening my skills. Whether it be through tutorials, re-reading books, or attending seminars, I know it’s important for us designers to maintain the most current knowledge so that you and your vision can come to fruition properly and outshine the rest. I will do my best with each client to meet their needs and surpass their expectations, making sure that I address their issues, understand their concept and develop a product that they are confident in. Some of you may just want me to run wild which is A OK with me, either way, I will work for you until we are both on the same page. Thanks for checking me out, please contact me for any inquiries on any projects you have in mind.

Nowadays everyone has a website, even great granny has a Tumblr to showcase her cookies and crochet hats. The web can be used for fun but more importantly to elevate your endeavor to the next level. If you are trying to gain the respect and trust of your audience the best way to reach them is through popular media. The quickest way to lose that respect is through poorly designed marketing. Let’s say your younger brother (with no design background) built a website for you for free, more than likely it would be built breaking a million rules that could cost you some good business. I can help you with cleaning up your site up once and for all; get you noticed with a actual layout that functions properly and makes sense. Whether your in the restaurant business, starting your own clothing line, or an entertainer your website is a BIG deal. Let’s make sure you stand out.

Print is not dead. Last year’s statistics showed that print promoting, in some markets, held a higher effective rate than online networking. I’m not saying this is true in all circumstances, but good old fashioned guerilla marketing still has a strong impact these days. That being said, not only could I create an eye catching design for your upcoming event/brand/promotion/etc, but I could also provide a print service with very competitive rates. So please email me your project details and let’s get your flyer, poster, business card, brochures, stickers, door hangers or whatever you may desire, produced today.

My clients come to me because I am able to bring their ideas to fruition. A lot of clients ask questions throughout the design process which is something I strongly encourage. I am here to help you make the right decisions that you will be comfortable with. You can ask me anything you would like, big or small, all questions are welcomed. Go ahead, ask away! I promise to give you a product you will feel confident of.
