Art Direction

A picture is worth a thousand words, unless of course it's a bad one, then it's worth exactly zero.  The imagery you associate with your brand can make all the difference when you're trying to get across a very specific message.  I love the challenge of translating moods, messages, concepts, and ideas into imagery.  I've been fortunate to collaborate with many great DPs and photographers over the past few years, below are a selection of my favorite images from projects I've had the opportunity to art direct for.

 
 
 
 

Branding

Branding and logo design are some of the most difficult but also the most rewarding projects for a graphic designer. The ultimate goal is to convey as much about the brand / product / client as you can, as simply as possible. Luckily for me I get to work with awesome clients who have a strong idea of who they are, and a real vision for where they want to be in the market, the rest is easy.

 
 
 

Graphic / Web Design

Get out of the way. That's the sum total of my design philosophy. My work is only there to help tell your story, sell your products or make you look good, nothing else. At the end of the day if what I do looks great, but doesn't serve your goals, what's the point?
