strategy + design + technology

I've been working in the visual communication field for over 20 years. I can help you think through your brand and message points and how to present your story visually across media. I work closely with you and your team to understand your story. I will offer you creative ways to communicate the heart of your services and business.

​

I back all that up with award-winning technical expertise. I do front-end development, designing websites, navigation architecture, writing html and php code, SEO and site testing. I also do graphic design and production for your print and video projects.
