About
I create therefor I am.
For the past 20 years I have worked with top brands to help them grow and thrive. National brands like Intel, Nike, Microsoft, ESPN and Round Table Pizza. And local brands like Oregon Episcopal School, Rose City Awning and Open Meadow Alternative Schools.
While every project is different I love to bring out my clients story and purpose. The more we can identify with our truths the more we connect person to person and build a bond, not just sell a product.
Specialties: Branding and Identity, Graphic Design, Art Direction, Positioning, Marketing Collateral, Packaging Design, Trade Show Experiences, Website Design, Social Media campaigns, Ad Design, Augmented Reality, Banner Ads, Direct mail, Video Production. -
