I’ve been drawing pictures for as long as I can remember.
Like a most kids I went through a dinosaur phase, a monster phase, an airplanes, submarines and rocket ships phase – the works. Never grew out of it. The same enthusiasm I once brought to scribbling brontosaurs and spaceships I now bring to solving clients’ communication challenges, albeit with a bit more focus and refinement. Developing engaging ways to tell stories with typography and imagery never gets old.
Great stories live within everyone but not everyone is equally adept at telling them. The same is true for business and non-profit organizations. Even those with a clear vision of their mission often have difficulty transforming aspirations into engaging brands and marketing messages. I help them accomplish that.
I enjoy brainstorming with senior managers, marketing teams, fellow designers, print and web producers, writers, photographers and illustrators to engage, entertain and educate our audiences.
And when called upon I can occasionally still impress nieces and nephews with my triceratops-rendering skills.
