BUILDING DURABLE BRANDS

I build brands that captivate and engage their target audiences

A captive audience is one willing to invest in your business. A larger audience means more revenue. Establishing your brand and building awareness is a key ingredient to capturing your market’s attention.

Does your brand need a refresh to help captivate the people? Let’s work together to get it done.

I’ve done it for The Pod Hotel and Zipari. I can help you too. Let’s Work Together.

DEVELOPING PRODUCTS FOR USERS

Crafting well-tested digital products is my specialty

In an age where everyone is using digital products, it’s important to build human-centered portals and apps. What does that mean? It means putting your users or members first, and building solutions that benefit the end-user. Trust me, it makes a huge difference. Do your digital products need a human touch? Let’s fix that.

DESIGN LEADER

I manage teams of people much smarter and creative than I am

I’ve managed a number of design & development teams during the course of my career. The key to my success is surrounding myself with fantastic people who do great work. Also who like to have a bit of fun. When my teams and I weren’t having Hot Ones inspired lunches, or playing laser tag, we used that extra time to design a number of high-quality consumer products that helped over 14 million people. Let’s Work Together!

DEVELOPING PRODUCTS FOR USERS

I execute ideas that spring to mind

I live in a constant state of “Let me create something, damn it!” which would be exhausting if it weren’t so motivating. I have a fervent need to build, design, draw, make, or create. It’s worked out very well so far. This drive leads me to start my own Dribbble-style short posts called “Quickies“. It’s a land of ideas that have the potential to be more. I also take a swing at redesigning brands and logos I think have potential. Have a gem of an idea you need to be tackled? Let’s Work Together!
