Design Philosophy
I'll make sure your project looks good, but that is secondary to the strategy, message, and personality of your brand and/or collateral. My decisions are backed by strong principles of design and mindfulness of what you as the client want and need to convey. I bring a sense of whimsy to my creations—if you desire a touch of magic in your vision, I'm the designer for you.
