DESCRIPTION
ÂTRANSCRIPT
There are many ways to communicate
ideas and emotions graphically. A loyal
client base is constituted by individuals
who believe in your company’s ethos and
product/s. You need to engage, excite,
challenge, and captivate them. I am
committed to this task. My varied cultural,
art and design experience will help you
distinguish your brand, build and retain
loyal clients.
An award winning graphic designer with
over 15 years of experience, I have worked
on both domestic and international projects
and bring a wealth of design and brand
experience to every client relationship.
I specialize in brand solutions, but have
broad experience encompassing traditional
advertising and marketing solutions.
I am experienced and comfortable working
with all levels of clientèle, from large
corporations to start ups. My client list is
diverse, including the likes of Paramount,
Universal, Fox Home Entertainment, MTV,
Fielding Winery, Steelwool Bicycle Co., FDJ
Clothing, Enmax, Barclays Bank, and Hope
Volleyball, amongst others.
Based in Ottawa, the Capital City of Canada,
I am available to work on projects in almost
any location. My clients are located in cities
across the world, including the UK, Canada
and USA.
