Innovation + Tradition

Change is hard; I know. I come from a background in hand-painted signs and was trained to execute designs using very little technology. Born and raised in the middle-of-nowhere west Texas, I came to value traditional methods of getting things done. However, brands have to feel alive and up to date. I will always rely on my fundamentals to craft solutions but I also learn new methods and technologies everyday. With history as teacher and the future as guide, I think outside of the box to create unique solutions and deliver attractive designs that function for you. 

My work looks and feels human. I have good taste. I know from 20 years of design and delivering hand-rendered content what looks right and what feels wrong. I am proficient in many mediums including painting, printing, building, and photo/video. I use my background in exhibit and display design to curate your brand and create a natural flow through the hierarchy of your story. 

Be the best you. Your brand must reflect the goals that make you excited to get out of bed and the pain-points that you are to overcome. It doesn’t have to be hard. I work directly with the decision makers to identify a strategy in a way that is respectful of your time. I want to get everything I need upfront so I can execute your design and marketing needs and you can do what you do best.
