DESIGN WITH A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH
BRANDING
My approach: Every organization, event and campaign has a story...a motive...a goal. I'll examine what those are and make every mark count toward telling that story with the final branding able to speak volumes and show up as unique as its originators, users and consumers.
INFOGRAPHICS
My approach: Somewhere in the data, there is a story. What that story is depends on what needs to be told, illuminated or imparted. A visualization of that story within the data can help others understand, learn or act with more direction and speed.
GRAPHIC DESIGN
My approach: When there's a lot of information to impart, and your project spins brevity on its head, it's time for some visual hierarchy and prioritization of ideas to help the consumer or audience focus on the offer. My natural ability to organize mass information and reign multiple messages into a succinct visual is at the ready (and I've been known to jump in and write copy or edit as needed).
APPAREL GRAPHICS
My approach: With an expert knowledge of textiles and applications I aim to provide designs and a point of view on how to both delight the end user and use resources responsibly.

SUSTAINABILITY
My approach: While sustainability is ingrained in all work that I do, sustainability focused work is specifically calling on this skill set: combining all visual skills plus a specific focus on systems thinking, circular economy, biomimicry and life cycle analysis.
