Austin, TX, USAI launched my design studio in 2004, and since then, I have experienced just about every imaginable scenario in the client/designer relationship. This experience has helped me develop a clear understanding of the value of communication and professionalism. I also believe in the necessity of fluidity in conceptual thinking. Ideas can come from anywhere and the platform for your brand's story needs to remain flexible.
The work I've done for clients is just that… work for them. You will not see a personal style because I design elements to help my clients achieve their goals. I understand the responsibility entrusted in me to create for them.
I love what I do and as a result, my spare time is spent researching or studying design trends. I have been the designer or creative director on a wide variety of projects; brand development, annual reports, web design and editorial layout. Give me a call if you have a design project to discuss.
