How can I help refine Your Communication campaign?
Direct Mail DesignAfter several joint projects with the Miami University Development group's in-house team, they contracted me to design a celebratory multi-panel event invitation for their 200th Anniversary Celebration and the invitations to their Presidential Retreat. | Corporate Event FlyersA Boston area ad agency assigned this multi-piece project to me to design an high-energy promotion that met both Philips Pharmaceuticals and the B-52s identity guidelines. | Direct Mail CampaignThis direct mail package was designed to reassure all GM customers of the major resources available to them as the company went through some difficult structural changes. | Logo & Event DesignI designed this energetic event flyer and the YPOC's logo to appeal to a youthful teen audience. |

Corporate Logo DesignBranding & identity design for a young cutting edge urban investment group. | B2B Product LaunchI was the lead Art Director when my agency was given the opportunity to brand Pontiac's new entry into the Youth Market, the Vibe. The project included all conceptual work behind the image, design & event participation in the national Warped Tour. | Logo & Event DesignThe Preble County YMCA's hired me to help design event materials to launch a new local triathlon and encourage people of all fitness levels to give the event a "try." The dragon was based off the race location's mascot and offered a lot of thematic enhancements at the event. | Magazine Ad CampaignEach ad in this series of lifestyle rebranding ads for Sperry seeks to add excitement and adventure appeal across three different demographics. |
New Business LaunchI strapped on my cowboy boots to develop and launch Baumbach's restaurant with an ID, website and outreach campaign to nearby Richmond, Indiana businesses. | Illustration & DesignThis tshirt illustration was created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of a Yellow Springs camping tradition and also pay tribute to the group's long-time organizer whose likeness serves as the face of the Man on the Moon. | Corporate Logo DesignThis logo was requested for a small NGO start-up that brings medical training videos to remote rural third world communities. They wanted an identity that communicates the helpful medical nature of their work while keeping an approachable human warmth and accessibility. | Benefit Driven DesignThis multi-function piece both serves to introduce and educate the benefits of a new product while also enticing doctors to attend a launch event. The client was very pleased with the response to the piece and event attendance. |
Multi-piece CampaignThe Preble County Historical Society contacted me to create a multi-phase, multi-year, multi-target campaign to raise funding for the building of an amphitheater on their property. This effort secured not only individual donations but also won a state facility construction grant. | Invitation DesignThis event invitation was commissioned by a non-profit that wanted to engage people and let them know how much their involvement could make a difference to their Sierra Leone clean water project. | Corporate Logo DesignThis senior citizens resource center wanted an identity that expressed calm and serenity. | Illustration & DesignThis favorite PTO event needed some colorful promotion to the school community and public. This identity is designed to be used yearly across both volunteer & public flyers, posters and event materials. |

Smart is Beautiful
It's not enough to just create a pretty picture. With over 16 years experience in corporate advertising and marketing, my work is grounded in a solid appreciation for the business goals and customer insights that get results, change opinions and bring in a return on investment.
Great messages,
any medium.
I can help you create the right message in any medium. From corporate identity, to websites, email and direct mail campaigns, product launches and national events, I have worked with top household names and also with small businesses, start-ups and individuals across industries as diverse as automotive, mass transport, medical, non-profit, banking and retail.
Great clients. Great work.
The best work comes from teamwork and collaboration. Great clients bring their knowledge and passion to the table, great marketing design translates and amplifies that passion in a voice to which customers can relate.
The branding work I did for the launch of the Pontiac Vibe helped them break into a new youth audience that had never considered buying domestic before. I have helped GM Corporate redefine their image and reopen communications with its owners.
I have helped small companies achieve a brand able to compete with the big guys. What can I do for you?
