Excellence in Design and Process
Putting the pieces together into a conceptually cohesive whole, I provide the design and art direction while managing the creative process, the creative providers, and the art schedule. Whether your assignment is multifaceted with a longer lead time or straightforward with a quick turnaround, it is my priority and will be accomplished with excellence in both design and process.
