I specialize in brand development, art direction, and visual storytelling across print and digital. From brand identities and integrated campaigns to publications, reports, social media, motion graphics, and web experiences, I love finding creative ways to make complex ideas clear, engaging, and memorable. I’m especially drawn to projects that combine strategic thinking with thoughtful design and a strong message.

Once the project has been discussed I will calculate fees based on scope, complexity, and projected resources, then present a transparent proposal.

Engagements range from a week to several months for comprehensive campaigns to years for those design jobs that have a life of their own!

I’m at member of the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) and an
Executive Board Member of the Western Maryland Climbing Coalition as well as a Former Committee Member for the AIGA-DC Continuum Scholarship Fund.

Some of my bigger clients (cough, cough, like FBI) did not give full permission for all of our collaboration to be shared. With 25 years of design jobs, there really were too many to share! That’s a GREAT problem to have!

I can fix that kerning. And I will.

I judge your menu font before I order.

I take more pictures of signage and logos while on vacation than the scenery.

I say “just one little tweak” and suddenly it's a whole new concept and 3 in the morning.
