Am I a good designer?
For years that seemed like such a loaded question. After all, good design is in the eye of the beholder, right? Sometimes it comes natural. Other times you hit brick walls. Regardless of the resistance you encounter along the journey, it shapes you into who you are today.
So, who am I?
I am a Creative Director with 20+ years experience in graphic design. My expertise ranges from print, packaging and publication design to interactive web and app design. For the past decade I have lead the creative powerhouse behind SWIRE and eGood, a full service marketing agency and digital startup. Some of our agency clients included: Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications, among other telecommunications giants. Projects ranging from corporate identity and print collateral to campaign micro sites and app concept design.
My approach to design goes beyond just aesthetics. I dig in, research, and concept until the "right" design surfaces. I work very well in team environments, or one-on-one with motivated clients. I produce quick, effective turnarounds and can work within most reasonable budgets. I am highly proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, with professional level experience in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.
And yes, I am a good designer.
