SERVICES.
Web Design

Let's go digital. Responsible for creating the design and layout of strategically positioned websites. We can start from scratch working on a brand new website or updating an already existing site. I am one of those unique Art Directors that is also a front-end coder. I can work along side my fellow coders and collaborate with them nicely due to this extra knowledge. There's always crossover between the two roles.


Print Design

Print will never go away. It’s important to target your audience using different venues. We can utilize your existing visual style within your brand or you may need a refresh. We'll discuss strategically your current market, campaign and your immediate needs that will put your business in the forefront. From the simple handout to a complex multi-level collateral system, from beginning to end. Let’s make you public and your voice heard.


Video Design

With social media being more prevalent and the need for your voice to be out there quicker, you may want to go with something with more motion. Something that might create empathy, foresight or a unique sales blast. Video can do all that. We will discuss your current campaign, develop a strategy, storyboard the concept and work with a producer. And Voilà, you are on YouTube!

PROCESS.

01.

DISCOVERY

How does one begin developing good and useful products? We start by defining a problem in the status quo and develop opportunities that we can capitalize upon. We will discuss a plan on creating this solution — and the reason why. We begin defining user needs, what goals you plan to accomplish and how you plan on positioning yourself within the competition.

02.

STRATEGY

Having done the adequate research for defining your product and it’s competitive positioning, we will have set our best foot forward for continuing onward and upward with a successful product. We then go to the next step in the process of building your product. We’ll define together all of the opportunities, aspirations and goals that we see available in the market. We’ll realized and utilize these goals to help grow your business. Once you have set your definitions, aspirations and goals, it’s time to push onward through the process.

03.

CONCEPT

Following the definitions of your product comes the creation of concepts, so let’s start ideate those thoughts. We will start creating, drawing, sketching and otherwise developing the visual flow of your product. This is the skeletal system that will be developed upon throughout the design process. This is when and how I will partner on creating marketing messages and content outlines — all of which should coincide with our design sketches.
