Web Design, Illustration & Creative Direction

About Me

As a Freelance Creative Director and Designer located in Indianapolis, I consult with high level creative teams for a wide variety of full-service advertising agencies, web development firms and clients. I'm an award-winning designer and illustrator with 20+ years of advertising and marketing experience. I have experience leading offline and online teams through all steps of the strategy, design and development process. While interactive design is my current passion, my work is informed by experiences in branding, print, television, direct, outdoor, tradeshow and packaging.

Design Services

I love partnering with companies and individuals who view their website as an online business that is scalable and will grow as it generates more leads, sells more products, improves customer service and builds customer loyalty. I take a holistic approach with regards to strategic planning, user experience, implementation, functionality, and constant marketing. My services for hire include: creative strategy, concepting, brand development and logo identity design, print media design, web user interface design and user experience design. I partner with digital strategists, content developers and development teams to create useful, relevant and memorable online experiences. While I'm currently based in the midwest, I work globally and nationally with many agencies and clients and can handle work remotely or on location for meetings and presentations.
