I am an award-winning graphic designer who brings nearly 30 years of experience to the marketing department at ERC. In his role as Design Associate, I create marketing materials, presentations, proposals, and other collateral that serves all ERC business lines. From concept through execution, I bring ERC’s brand to life and improves end-user experience. Since graduating from the Cleveland Institute of Art with a bachelor’s degree in graphic design, I have worked in a variety of companies around the Cleveland area, including Ad/Art Studios, a small design studio, Doner Advertising, a full-service advertising firm, and most recently, Horizon Global, an international manufacturing company. While at these companies, I became proficient in designing packaging systems, point-of-purchase displays, logos, brochures, web content, and brand standards. In 2014, I was part of a team at Doner that was awarded a National Gold ADDY for their campaign “Take a Closer Look” on behalf of their client, Bellefaire JCB, a social service agency that provides programs for at-risk youth. My team’s project garnered local and national attention by raising awareness about issues affecting homeless and missing youth. In my free time, I enjoy watching sports and considers myself a die-hard Cleveland fan. I am also a dog lover who adopted four retired greyhounds.
