About Me

I am a graphic designer living in the Greater Portland Area and I solve problems, visually.

For over 15 years I have been working with clients across a wide range of industries developing, and promoting their brands through a variety of media.

I believe creative adaptability has been the key to my success. For years I tried to define my style, my unique value proposition, something I could leverage, promote, and perfect. Then it dawned on me that if my goal is to meet the design needs of a broader market and convincingly create work that fits a wide range of styles, maybe not having a signature style, a "Blue Steel" so to speak, would prove best for me and ultimately my clients. And so far it has.

I enjoy both print and web design and I've been told I'm pretty good at both. I am also humble. Beautiful and humble.

My design philosophy is based on a few foundational beliefs which I have recognized and adopted over my career. The more notable ones are:

• Humility is one of the most valuable qualities a designer can have because our egos are terrible designers.

• Collaboration is at the root of discovery. Good ideas can come from anyone or from anywhere.

• The insight gained from 15 minutes of user testing is worth more than a dozen expert opinions.

• Most clients prefer results to stunning design.

• Only make promises you can keep.
