Petit Introduction
The name “grand ciel” means “big sky” in French. { Pronounced “grand seal” } I chose it to reflect my work philosophy — to keep an open mind to new challenges, always try to see the big picture and keep my eyes open to what is going on around me, both locally and globally. By doing so, I hope it makes me a better communicator.

Good ideas and concepts don’t come from staring at a computer screen. They come to me by listening and engaging with clients, so I can visually “tell their story” to the audiences they want to reach and motivate. It means putting myself in my client’s shoes.

Of course, there’s nothing like a walk in the sunshine, under a big blue sky to get the creative mojo moving.

It’s what I value most. Getting to know my clients, understanding their point of view, collaborating with them, verses “designing at them” makes for the most satisfying results. When there is mutual respect, be assured, I work hard to deliver the best design solutions to meet clients’ expectations.

Design is what I do.

My specialties are in creating brands, { new and complete overhauls } crafting promotions { ads, brochures, direct mail, posters, etc. } and building custom websites. I’ve been designing before Macs were around, so I know my stuff, in the world of print and world wide web.

I provide appealing, effective design with personal service at every project phase, from concepts and presentation, to production and final roll-out. For larger, more complex projects, I can put together a team of talented professionals to service what needs to happen, but without the big “agency” price tag.
