I have 16+ years experience in graphic design and marketing with a specialization in package design, P.O.P. and corporate I.D. I also manage to have a little fun on the side painting, creating and taking pictures.
To be honest, most days I can't believe I actually get paid to do this for a living. Loving what you do is extremely important to me and I've been lucky enough to find something that not only makes me truly happy, but I can make a living at as well.
I've spent a lot of my career bridging the gap between corporate and creative. I believe the biggest mistake designers make is designing for themselves rather than for the client. It's easy to forget we're in a service industry, but we are and that service is making sure the client gets not only what they need, but what they want. Creativity doesn't have to suffer just because the client is more conservative. You just need the right balance.
My goal is to share my passion with others and inspire creativity. This is accomplished by listening to all team members and making jobs a collaborative effort, taking the best elements of individual ideas and fusing them into positive results.
