About

Designer and illustrator with specialization in brand style guides and design standards, corporate identity, visualizing information, and typographic application.

CREATIVE DIRECTION

By “Creative Direction” I mean I design and direct full scope. I also define it as Creative Support and/or Leadership and/or Facilitation as these words better describe my approach when I’m not working alone. I work as much as the sole creative for my clients as I do on teams under virtual/remote longer-term contracts and on-site short-term contracts.

Industries

Healthcare, Technology, Radio Broadcasting, Entertainment, Management and Leadership Training, Professional Athletics, Real Estate, Restaurants, and Non-Profits.

Advanced InDesign

My work is specialized in advanced InDesign features for larger, more complex projects like college course catalogs, book indexes (aka “indices” if you’re a blowhard), and magazines.

ADOBE CUSTOM TRAINING

For approximately 2 million years I have been an Instructor of Visual Design and an Adobe Creative Suite Training Facilitator. The instruction I currently provide is customized specifically for clients’ real project needs.
