I can do many things

This is what I do well

Product
Design

If you need a great idea. Or if you need to make a good idea great, or a great idea better, I'm here to help. Maybe you just need the finishing touch to pull it together. Through it all, I've always tried to keep the ball rolling.

Visual
Design

Even though I've taken on my share of UI/UX work, I love adding the final polish to my work. If you need design to go beyond wireframes, give me a call. Visual design can't always be learned.

Web
Design

I've designed and redesigned a wide range of sites through the years. Multi-lingual, WordPress, blogs, marketing sites, landing pages, you name it, I've done it. As someone who knows how to code, I will not paint developers into a corner.

Mentoring & Career
Development

Through the years, I've worked with and mentored over 25 designers. Knowing how to communicate with fellow designers while keeping them excited and engaged takes polish. Recognizing when something is working well design-wise, even if it's not specifically the way you imagined it – is an art form in itself.
