a short story about my process:
(a) i’ve never been one to follow a path or do something just because everyone is doing it / because that’s ‘just how it’s always been done.’
(good ideas deserve visuals that lead, not follow)
(b) i’m driven by curiosity, followed by communication, research, and clarity.
(working with me looks like me asking a lot of questions)
(c) to me, design isn’t just a pretty graphic, logo, or branding. design is a tool for meaning, optimal functionality, and a new way to see or experience anything.
good design make you think, makes you feel, breaks rules, isn’t afraid to be weird and go outside the lines a little, and often leads to a ripple effect of more ideas.
(this image has been my creative work mantra for several years)
(d) my strategy is where chaos and clarity meet
(i call it controlled chaos)
(e) i’m a weirdo. i used to try to hide this until i realized that my weirdness might actually be what makes me a great designer.
(to be a great designer you have to be different…design and innovation go hand in hand)
(f) i don’t stick to one niche or medium and if i haven’t done something yet but have an idea i’ll figure out the method.
i mix clean and functional design with texture and sharp systems with human emotion. everything i make is layered, unapologetic, doesn’t wait for permission, doesn’t compromise character, doesn’t sell for the sake of selling (but might make you want something or read something), and always has something to say.
(i don’t just ‘think outside the box’ but sometimes i try to blow the box up. i’m not for everyone and that’s okay…but i might be for you)
a few notes.
(1) my portfolio is less conventional (by design). it is not to show you exactly what i can do (future) but rather is a curated overview of what i have done (past). what i have done isn’t the only thing i want to do forever and a lot of creative work has overlap.
i hope it gives you insight into how i think and what i can do, moving forward.
(2) prices for any of my work varies between corporate, small business, non-profits, and commissions and are based on the work itself, your budget (i offer flexible pricing/sliding scales), and timelines (shorter timelines = $$$).
(3) all of the visuals and words written throughout this site are my own. i believe in responsible AI but never auto generate.
i’m a human that makes things, thank you so much.
