Skills

I weave together multimedia skills, knowledge, and technologies to create crystal clear communication strategies and solutions that work. I'm an expert on 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. Additionally, I can write, edit, and organize content with an eye for clarity and consistency. My skill set 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" communicator means I can help make big things happen for various 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.
