Great design is born of two things:
simplicity and clarity.
With over 25 years of experience in advertising and design, I bring a strong, distinctive voice and clear point of view to every project I take on. That perspective shapes every aspect of brand development—from strategy and naming to identity-logo design, print and digital campaigns, packaging, event branding, signage and social media.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with individual clients, as well as partnering with advertising, design, and marketing firms on projects ranging from local startups to global brands. Regardless of scale or budget, my goal is always the same: to deliver thoughtful, impactful work that resonates.
I grew up on a 72-acre farm with a 15-acre pond in Harpersfield, Ohio—where I bailed hay, rode dirt bikes, fed the cows, chickens, and pigs, and eventually joined the Army National Guard. That unlikely path led me to discover a passion for creativity and storytelling, and ultimately, a career in advertising and brand design.
Outside of work, I enjoy life in the country - Bellville, Ohio - with my best friend and wife, Heidi. We love spending time with our two daughters and their families. Whether it's hiking, running, kayaking, traveling to adventurous places, working out, or tending the garden — I’m always up for something active and inspiring.
When I was younger, the award shows and work travel were exciting—and I’ve been there, done that. These days, I find real satisfaction in simply creating great work.
