Not only do I have the skills and experience necessary to get the job done, but I’m confident that you will genuinely enjoy working with me.

I dabble in a multitude of artistic mediums, both traditional and unconventional, to inspire new ideas and feed my creative soul.

I’m obsessively creative.

I can’t help but question the status quo. I have a passion for dreaming up novel solutions and don’t take “because we have always done it this way” as an answer.

I’m insatiably curious.

I balance my passion for originality with practicality and will gladly adopt an “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” stance when appropriate.

I am pragmatic.

My creative process is a bit “analog”. I sketch ideas with good old fashioned pencil and paper… and *gasp* I will often show my rough sketches to clients (typically considered a no-no in the design world).

I’m old school.

I don’t use a lot of corporate jargon and I despise business attire. I prefer to interact with my clients in an authentic and casual manner. I am very much a what-you-see-is-what-you-get type of person.

I’m unprofessional… but in a good way.

I never exaggerate my credentials. I have no problem admitting when I don’t know something. Why? Because I’m confident in my ability to figure things out and get the job done.

I’m transparent.

By that I mean I do my best to not impose my personal style onto my work, but rather allow the unique goals of the project to dictate the design, a.k.a. “form follows function”.

I have no style.

I won’t try to sell you anything you don’t need. In fact, I will probably discourage you from spending money on services if I believe the cost outweighs the reward.

I’m an awful salesperson.
