What makes me unique
What makes me unique is my ability to see what clients cannot. In my almost 25-years of design, I can count on one hand the number of times a client has not liked my work. Because all our design work is informed by a solid strategy, it enables us to both elevate the client and hit the mark. I think outside the box and help clients see that they can live there also.
The projects that I love
The projects I love are the ones that are the most challenging – the ones that have the stickiest problems to solve through design. For instance, having to use only two colors, or only having a small space for design.
I also love the from-scratch projects where a client says, “I need it all. Make us look amazing.” It’s like taking a white piece of paper and making it come alive.
What makes me proud
What makes me most proud are the living things that I have created. My kids and my family are the reason I work hard and strive to be the best at what I do. Being just ok has never been good enough for me. If you are not doing great or being great you aren’t living. I apply this philosophy to work and family. @100 all day every day.
