Who I AmWhat I DoServicesPortfolioContact



My Core Competencies include:

Corporate Identity and Branding Services
Investing in marketing is just that, an investment. You expect to make a return. The first, best step when marketing is developing your corporate image, a set of graphical references that instills trust and professionalism across all points of contact with your customer base. I can develop, design and deliver a visual translation of your organization that clearly communicates the value of your brand promise across all mediums.

Advertising Design, Illustration & Photography
Universal communication begins with imagery. My command of traditional illustration and photographic technologies provide a wealth of resources for your project. You reap the rewards!

I generally start the design process with a conversation to understand your business, products or services and customers. Based on your information and a market analysis we can begin work on a logo. It should envelope a recognition of your organization and be instantly recognizable. Based on the same style, colors and typefaces, your collateral materials (business card and letterhead) would be the next step in growing your image. Brochures, posters, advertisements, trade show booths, websites- all should be coordinated. I can design all of these items, a full solution is much more cost effective than you might think! See some examples here.

Web Site, Print and Interactive Development
I am a veteran at building, deploying and maintaining web content. I will develop, design and deliver your message in a media rich or traditional environment, and clearly communicate the value of your product or service with fresh, automated and personalized content.

I will match design and functionality of Internet technologies to your company, tailoring them to your strategy, market and unique requirements. My objective for every project includes:

1. Increase Return on Investment (R.O.I.)
2. Enhance visitor/customer online experience
3. Accelerate access to information
4. Decrease time-to-market, and reduce maintenance costs
5. Provide scalable solutions that integrate with today's market enterprise infrastructures

My continued commitment to training, and access to new and evolving web design technologies ensures that my clients receive an outstanding value for their marketing investment.

Shockwave/Flash/Director
Real Audio/Video, Shockwave, Quicktime Streaming, QTVR are some some of the types of 'plug-in' technology I've worked with. Come to me for the best solution! The flexibility of rich media allows me to deploy your Interactive on any platform. CDROM/E-Cards, kiosk, and web sites are just a few examples. Crossed media campaigns offer trackable and dynamic experiences and are very powerful combinations.

2D/3D Modeling/Motion Graphics (Flash)
I am well versed with the unique challenges of 3D model design, product prototyping and animation. I've risen to the challenge with a series of projects for Dairy Queen®, PowerOn Software, Dr. J Foley, M.D., F.A.C.S. and the STX Fire® broomball head and I can do it for you.

My longstanding relationships with VenerNet and FastURL offer virtually every web hosting option connected to an incredible three OC3 and seven DS3 pipeline! Excellent!
