Then There’s the Service.
{With a Smile}

For each project, you’ll be given a realistic, budget-fitting estimate, project management, production, and as needed, print management. I take care of the details, so you don’t have to. I’ll keep you informed, so you’ll know the status of your project at every phase.

NOTE : I don’t try to be all things to all people. But I do strive to provided the very best design solutions that give my clients that polished professional look and give them the right marketing tools they need to grow their business.

Creative Services

I specialize in creating custom brand personalities. Then I wrap these custom designed brands into marketing tools that match my clients’ needs. If you already have an established brand, I carefully adhere to the standards established and invested into your brand when designing the marketing tools you need.

You Were Expecting a Price List Like a Deli Menu, Right?

Sorry to disappoint. The thing is each project is as unique as the client. Prices shouldn’t be rubber-stamped just as design shouldn’t be cookie-cutter. The fairest approach is to listen to what you need and make sure we are on the same page regarding the scope of the project. Then I provide a written proposal outlining the project phases, a price range for each phase and what the tangible deliverables will be at each phase. That way there are no unhappy surprises. (Proposals may include a time frame to keep the project on track and to meet a targeted roll-out date).

Finding the Right Fit

Every studio art director/designer is optimized for different types of work. Due to my experience and know-how I am best optimized for:

Somewhat Small to Medium to Somewhat Large-ish Projects
What does that mean? I have many small business and non-profit clients, but the objective is to avoid the very small projects (under $800.00) because my process doesn’t work well at that scale. Likewise, I’ll also pass on the super large projects (over $25,000) because I’ve found they’re just not fun to work on and can be all- consuming. Everything else in between, I’m certain to dazzle and make you shine!
