Design Phil-osophy

  • I believe in the power of well made, unique art. I approach each new design as a fresh opportunity to create something that feels as new as the spark that brought you to me.

  • Art is a form of communication. Like all communication it is made of symbols people can read. The magic of design is turning familiar words and images into something familiar enough to understand, exciting enough to achieve the goal, and invisible enough to stay out of the way. For this reason, we can only make art together.

  • You’ve got the ideas and inspiration, and I have the skill, training, experience and most importantly the desire to make your visions real.

 

Consultation

  • Overwhelmed? I got you. Any and all questions are welcome and encouraged. The first step is to Hit Me Up.

  • When I say any and all, I mean it. We can talk about how to get your logo made, or you can ask my favorite food (spoilers: it’s lasagna.)

  • I find that my best ideas stay small when I’m alone. Discussion will give your idea legs. How can you chase your dreams, if your dreams can’t run?

 

Logo Design

  • Every logo begins with a spark. The inspiration that made your eyes open wide and your heart pick up speed. Write this down. We will need this spark all the way to the end, even if we end up miles away.

  • Branding is nothing more than the expression of your idea. Define what got you excited in the first place. Write down words describing your idea and the feelings that surround it. We are digging to the center to discover its essence. Digging isn’t easy, but I promise we will find precious gems.

  • It’s time to shine! Together we will use your raw materials to manifest the perfect mark. A symbol that can endure. An image to express your will.

 

Layout Design

  • Layout design is any document that arranges multiple elements like pictures, words and art. This can mean something as small as a business card or an entire magazine publication. Layout design is fun, and it also happens to be my specialty.

  • I’ve made brochures and postcards and menus and banners. Calling cards and mailers and labels and even whole books of poetry.

  • I handle all artwork with the same care wether it’s a picture for your business’s instagram, or 150,000 copies of a brochure.
