A trusted track record of creativity
– with an appreciation for detail.
Art Direction
My experience in different job sectors – private, public, and non-profit – has lent itself well to allowing me to have a unique and rare perspective on the needs of different clients and projects when it comes to creative direction. Creative needs are best achieved when you communicate well with your team – and I’ve had the privilege of being on both ends of the spectrum as a team member and a leader.
My specialties with art direction encompass everything from home goods to food to jewelry to people to pets – I enjoy the challenge and opportunity to do things differently, work creatively, and allow teammates to best use their skills, talents, and natural gifts. Here’s a few of my favorites (click to enlarge/see full resolution).
Graphic Design
I like to tell people that my career in graphic design started when I was little: one of my favorite activities as a child was playing pretend and making imaginative worlds with my siblings, and they always revolved around me making some sort of signage – usually a “mailbox” for our make-believe shops, or drawing out an entire world of wonder on the driveway from chalk that usually comprised of a gas station, entertainment venue, and, of course, a snack shop.
Professionally I’ve been working in graphic design for over 15 years and in that time I’ve participated and worked on a huge variety of projects – logo design, brand identity development, style guides, conference media, trade show booths, catalogs, posters, web graphics, digital projects, mailings, business signage, promotional materials, and more – and that has allowed me to have a deep understanding of the different forms of media and how to best communicate a message within specific parameters.
