Creative Direction

I am a lifetime student of the elements + principles of design. I love to use visual design to solve all types of communication needs. Using design thinking, I help clients share the right message to the right audience.

I primarily research and design digital products like interactive marketing communications, immersive web experiences, and usable app interfaces.

I am an experienced leader in design thinking – ie. using the basic cycle of empathizing, ideating, prototyping, and testing — to deliver quality experiences at targeted audiences.

Amongst many other tasks — I produce, present, and deliver:

  • (Re)Brand Strategy + (Re)Brand Identity

  • Style Guide Definition

  • Automated Direct Response Campaigns

  • Product Launch Roadmaps

  • Traditional + Digital Marketing

  • Print Design + Pre-Press Production

  • Event Based Marketing

  • Unique Trade Show Experiences

  • Design Sprint Workshops

  • Heuristic Evaluations

  • User Interviews

  • Empathy Mapping

  • Card Sorting + Tree Testing

  • User Stories + Journeys

  • Usability Testing

  • Conversion Rate Optimization

Brand Strategy + Logo Design

It’s so much more than a logo! I build visual identities that demonstrate its values, speak in a consistent tone, and create a memorable impression.

Print + Package

So much of the customer’s experience still happens in the real world. Building a cohesive experience beyond the screen is a powerful and underutilized form of communication. Break through the noise. Build trust and make a memorable impression at some of the most important moments in the customer’s journey.

Illustration

I’m much better with a camera but I love to draw when the opportunity presents itself. Illustration can be a powerful form of visual communication when clearly distilling complex ideas into basic icons.

Data Visualization

We live in a data driven world, most of my design work is based on an analysis of qualitative and quantitative data. I distill robust data sets into digestible insights to let your audience make their own informed decisions.

PERSONA DEVELOPMENT

We all cast a wide net when we think about our audience. Personas can help you focus on your audience as individuals while understanding you audience en mass. Empathy is much easier when you can see representations of your customer or user.

JOURNEY MAPPING

From beginning to end, any product experience will be an emotional journey for the customer. Do you know their pain points? Do you know when they leave? Do you know why?

INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE

What is the best way to organize your products and services?

Tree-testing various hierarchies with your target audiences can help you craft optimal menus and user journeys for common tasks.

WIREFRAMING + PROTOTYPING

Wire framing can rapidly accelerate the design process with great attention to the usable experience separate to the immersive experience — this is helpful when contour bias can impede progress. In short, I steer products away from the uncanny valley during the design process.

VISUAL DESIGN + MOTION DESIGN

Atomic design is the process of defining the visual properties of each repeatable element of a site-wide interface. Clearly defined style guidelines can help to scale and produce digital content without a ton of overhead.
