About
I love taking your ideas and making them come to life. Seeing the final results in use as promotional products, large format displays, trade shows, magazines, social media, whatever the end user does with their LOOK is what makes it so rewarding.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently completed a brochure for a client that featured products designed as educational materials for use by elementary level students, in conjunction with the Smithsonian. It was a 12 page brochure with a 3 week deadline. I was able to provide my client with per page pricing versus hourly in order to keep them in line with their budget and also had no problem meeting, actually being ahead of deadline.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Look for someone who asks you questions. I find that an individuals favorite things help when creating a design. Colors, styles, etc. I like to have a client show me other marketing ideas that appeal to them.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Do you know what you want? How will you be using it? As crazy as that sounds, I have had clients that came to me with design jobs and they hadn't even selected or registered a business name. That makes it difficult for a designer and it ends up costing more in the end.
