Get the creative essentials of design, writing, images and the web—produced start to finish from one source.

About designing a better way.

Small and medium size organizations face difficult choices for cost-effective communications.

Full-service agencies have high overheads. Freelance designers, writers or illustrators can answer part of your needs, but you may be forced to put the pieces together. Turning to a friend or relative can create amateurish results with hidden costs. And hiring full-time may be impractical.

But what if it all came in one professional package? You could focus on what you do best—with less worries, costs and hassles.

That’s where I come in. I offer expert design, smart writing and strong image-building, backed by over 27 years on small, medium and Fortune 100 accounts. See the proof in my testimonials, awards and case studies.

You’ll discover a better way to:

• Simplify projects
• Speak to prospects in one unified voice
• Reduce costs while using top-drawer talent
• Get accountable answers from one point of contact
• Conduct faster, smaller meetings
• Understand print and web technology in plain English
• Rest easy knowing you’re in capable, experienced hands

What’s different is my unique mix of skills. I write, design and illustrate as needed, and I can produce most communications from start to finish.

You get the creative essentials—design, copy, illustration and the web —without the overhead of a larger studio or agency.

I’ve served at Dayton’s oldest and fastest growing agencies in both advertising and marketing. Over a 27+ year career I’ve worked on everything from billboards to brochures, 3D mailings to web pages, and I’ve got the awards to prove it. I’m one of those rare designers who can actually draw. And write. And tie it all together.

See if you agree after you browse through my work. Then please contact me about a better way to reach your customers.
