Process

Process


I create lively content and bold designs that connect audiences to your brand and help share your unique story.

THINK. CREATE. DELIVER.

 
 
 

THINK.

I WORK WITH EACH CLIENT TO UNDERSTAND THEIR SPECIFIC NEEDS AND TO THINK THROUGH THE POTENTIAL CREATIVE COMMUNICATION SOLUTIONS. THIS TYPICALLY RESULTS IN A CREATIVE BRIEF THAT DEFINES THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT. THIS IS WHERE MY COMMUNICATION STRATEGY SKILLS REALLY SHINE.

CREATE.

THE NEXT STEP IN MY PROCESS CAN INVOLVE PEN TO PAPER, PAINT TO CANVAS OR A STROLL THROUGH A MUSEUM. MY INSPIRATION TO CREATE LIVELY CONTENT AND BOLD DESIGNS COMES FROM A RANGE OF PEOPLE, PLACES AND THINGS... AND SOMETIMES... WHEN I LEAST EXPECT IT!

DELIVER.

ONCE I FLESH OUT SEVERAL SOUND DRAFTS THAT EMBODY THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT, AND USUALLY A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA, I PRESENT THE CONCEPTS. I EXPECT THREE ROUNDS OF REVIEW/revision BEFORE I DELIVER THE FINAL, POLISHED WRITING AND DESIGN SOLUTIONS.

Story


Writer, Designer, Little Orphan, Big Red Dog  

 

 

 

I THINK I'VE ALWAYS BEEN AN ARTIST.

 

I JUST MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY.

I won my first national competition in the second grade for an abstract mixed-media work that HUNG ON MY PARENT's WALL FOR YEARS. 

Then, like many, I LET MY LOVE FOR ART FADE AS I peruseD more intense studies IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE.

BUT, IT JUST TOOK THAT ONE graphic design course at the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Journalism and Mass Communication TO REIGNITE MY SPARK.

I knew THEN THAT GRAPHIC ARTS AND WRITING would fulfill me and feed ME. I’m very fortunate that my passion is NOW also my CRAFT.

 

I’VE HAD MANY GREAT OPPORTUNITIES TO WORK FOR AGENCIES, NON-PROFITS AND COMPANIES BOTH SMALL AND ENORMOUS, AND I’M HAPPY TO HAVE FOUND MY PLACE FREELANCING. IT AFFORDS ME THE LUXURY OF TIME TO RAISE MY BOYS: LIAM (10) AND NOAH (1); AND TO spoil MY LABRADOR, BARKER GREG PROUDFEET CLIFFORD.

I’M CURRENTLY SEEKING OPPORTUNITIES THAT WILL ALLOW ME TO GROW AS A STRATEGIST, WRITER AND DESIGNER WHILE HELPING ME ADD VALUE TO THE COMMUNITY AT-LARGE. I ENJOY WORKING WITH ORGANIZATIONS THAT PUT THEIR PEOPLE FIRST – EMPLOYEES, CUSTOMERS AND STAKEHOLDErS – WHILE SERVING THE GREATER GOOD.
