Building enduring brands

I'm an expert brand builder with extensive experience creating, managing and stewarding comprehensive brand programs across global audiences for Fortune 1,000 and emerging enterprises alike. And my interdisciplinary and integrated skills in identity, brand, print, interactive, exhibit and advertising allow me to be agile, fast to market, and cost-effective.
I've also gained considerable business-to-business and business-to-consumer strategic marketing communications experience helping executives reach their communications goals in many vertical markets and industry sectors including technology, science, consumer, pharma, medical and medical-device.
So, if you’re looking to build an enduring identity program that's global in reach, need a results-oriented branding campaign that sparks action and generates ROI, or interested in a compelling online experience that engages your visitors and heightens awareness about your products and services, I'd love an opportunity to speak with you and discuss how I might help you tell your story.

Recognition

Let’s be honest. Nothing energizes designers more than to hear from our clients that a body of our work has produced results and generated returns on their investment. And it’s icing on the cake when we learn that our peers think this same work is also worthy of professional recognition. The work produced by my firm has been fortunate to receive over 200 awards of merit from national and international juries. Very nice, indeed. But you can take comfort in knowing that I will never sacrifice your project’s objectives at the altar of design critics. Results first, kudos second.
