Having a template makes building presentations a tad, okay…a lot, easier. Whoever said “there are no short cuts to success” probably didn’t know about using templates. My template files – both PowerPoint and Keynote – make sure that presentations are cohesive in look and feel with consistent fonts, styles, layouts and colors.

I prevent people from committing "Death by PowerPoint." As a creative presentation designer, I add life to presentations by using custom illustrations, unique photography and engaging video footage, making them more dynamic and giving real power to the message. Effective animations, which I also create, and dynamic transitions help engage any audience.

Animation can make a PowerPoint or Keynote presentation more dynamic, and help make information more memorable. The animations in the samples make them more engaging and really bring these stories to life. Click on each logo to launch and see the shows. Pass the popcorn, please.

I've had the great opportunity of creating the look and feel of sites for Levi’s, Kaiser Permanente and Intuit, contributing to each brand's unique messaging and appearance. As a highly trained marketing professional, I was able to provide these clients with a comprehensive suite of services: design and layout, as well as strategy and content. The result? Sites with a clean interface, stimulating design, and clear communication.

Collateral materials can support and reinforce a media advertising campaign. I’ve had the pleasure of working on collateral for Meta / Facebook and Google. At iShares and BlackRock I created white papers, brochures, flyers, booklets, posters, invitations and much more.

Paul Rand, one of the world’s greatest designers believed that “a logo is a flag, a signature, a street sign." My logo designs are distinctive, engaging, appropriate, practical and simple in form. Most importantly, they convey the brands' intended message.

Good direct marketing campaigns focus on promoting a specific product or service, and call on consumers to take action by receiving information, identifying their interest, visiting a website, or making a purchase.

 My direct marketing work with T-Mobile succeeded in inspiring customers to change cell phone plans, review business plans, and buy phones and tablets.

Mood boards and concept boards are a way of presenting unique design information to others. These can be used for creative discussion purposes or during research focus groups. I've had the extraordinary pleasure of creating boards and posters for some very distinctive brands.

Packaging plays an important role in the marketing mix. Effective packaging can convey trends, imply value, and be used as an instrument to create brand identity and shelf impact. My work with Gap Personal Care allowed me to create fun, inventive packaging designs. It was a great thrill to see these products in Gap stores around the country.

Many companies use custom T-shirts and accessories in order to promote events, services or products. Companies that use these kinds of promotions are actually very smart. Given that people love free stuff, custom apparel can be an effective way of achieving visibility, increasing sales or creating recognition. My designs are unique, fun and memorable.

Intelligent strategy, dynamic creativity, unique messaging and excellent production make an event stand out above the rest. The process of producing a themed activity, occasion, display, or exhibit requires great talent. I've been extremely lucky to have collaborated with highly talented thinkers and doers to produce top notch events. 

Infographics are visual displays of data designed primarily to be seen, rather than read. Effective infographics make data easily understandable at a glance.

I've created infographics for several clients that have very distinct identities. By adhering to brand guidelines, I've successfully created infographics that not only convey complex data, but also reflect the look and feel of the brand.
