I see brands as logical systems: a seamless combination of aesthetics and strategy that can stretch across platforms and delivery mechanisms. I maintain a wide skillset that allows me to offer creative support equivalent to an embedded design team, and I like to keep long-term client relationships to evolve designs alongside business goals.
I take on pro-bono/discounted projects whenever I can. If you need a designer for a project about environmental protections, LGBTQIA+ support, or mental health care, please reach out even if your budget is limited.
