Practical graphic experience, without the agency runaround

I've spent more than 20 years working with graphics — from design and art direction to digital, print, production, motion and illustration.

Over the years, I've learned that creating the original design is only part of the job. Logos need to work on signs, shirts, websites and printed materials. Images need to be cleaned up. Files need to be prepared properly. Marketing pieces need to actually make it from the computer into the real world. Videos need polished animations and aesthetics.

That's where I come in.

I work with businesses that already have a logo, brand, artwork, or marketing materials but need help getting them cleaned up, adapted, organized, or production-ready.

I’m not here to reinvent your brand or sell you a complete identity package. I’m here to help you make what you already have work.

Whether it's a logo that needs to be rebuilt, artwork your printer won't accept, or a booklet that needs to be created from the materials you already have, I approach each project with a practical, straightforward mindset.
