Skills
I expertly weave together multimedia skills, knowledge, and technologies to create crystal clear communication strategies and solutions that work. But what does that actually mean? Well, it means I know print, video, and web design and can harness the power of a multidimensional approach to obliterate almost any communication problem. I also have deep empathy for users and apply human-centered design thinking to every project I tackle. Oh, and I can write, edit, and organize content. My skill set perfectly lends itself to the education and training space, where I practice cutting-edge instructional design to engage learners in new and exciting ways. But being a “Swiss Army knife” designer means I can help make big things happen for a variety of businesses in many different fields.
GRAPHIC DESIGN
Brochures, business cards, book covers, billboards, boxes, and bottles. Whatever it is, I can create innovative designs that make an impression using Adobe Creative Suite.
VIDEO & MOTION
I’m trained to capture video using studio lights and double-system sound. I use Premiere, After Effects, and Audition to deliver a polished final product. Low budget? No problem. Hand me an iPhone.
INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN
I can take content from subject matter experts, reorganize it in user-friendly ways, and add interactive experiences to produce memorable educational materials. I’m proficient in many authoring tools but favor Articulate 360.
RESPONSIVE WEB DESIGN
I know UX/UI, including information architecture and user testing, CSS, HTML, WordPress, HTML5 animation, and a couple lesser-used technologies like iBooks, Bookstrap, and jQuery mobile.
IDENTITY & BRANDING
Branding isn’t about logos. It’s about creating a gut feeling about a company, business, department, or product. All my skills come together to craft that gut feeling.
ADVERTISING & SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING
I design, write, and create high-quality content and campaigns to engage audiences and create action. No concept too big, no platform too small.
PHOTOGRAPHY
I have over 15 years of experience behind the lens of both Canon and Nikon DSLRs practicing natural light photography.
EDITING & COPYWRITING
My speciality is reorganizing existing content for clarity and editing for engagement, but I can also write some mighty tight prose.
