Integrity
I charge my clients a fair market price. When working hourly, I do not inflate the time, and in fact, I often provide free extra hours of correspondence, design work and advice.
Clean Design Aesthetic
I have a clean design sense as exhibited by my brand. I believe that a good design must be aesthetically pleasing and should always enable the viewer to intuitively grasp the brand’s message in a matter of seconds.
Perfectionism
I was always a perfectionist and treat each job that I accept as if it were my portfolio piece. I ask many questions and I really get to know you. I help you clarify what you wish to accomplish, even when you’re not sure, by asking the right questions, piggybacking on my experience and research, using my intuition and talent.
Skills and Experience
Because knowledge is power, and true mastery of skills comes from experience, my over 10 years of experience working as a graphic designer, user experience/user interface (UX/UI) designer, marketer, art and creative director, allowed me to master:

Clear and Effective Communication
No project can be completed successfully without effective communication. I keep my clients and sub-contractors appraised every step of the way, working together as a team, so that client goals are met. And when I do not know or cannot accomplish a task, I am upfront about it.
I Give You My All
I don’t just design for my clients. I serve as the project manager, researcher, developer, search engine optimizer, photographer, videographer, copywriter, editor, branding specialist and web master. If you want training so that you can continue on your own, after your brand is completed, I gladly provide the training and support, so that your business and website can be continually operational.
