As a juxtaposition to strategic design and branding, I paint and sculpt in various mediums and with multiple materials. The creation of art is intended to calm the mind and bring a sense of non-objectivity to the process. Of course, the irony is that's not always the case. Making art seems to bring out the same amount of passion and attention to detail as all other endeavors in my life. At times, I let loose and avoid caring about the outcome. However, that is typically short lived and usually… Show more As a juxtaposition to strategic design and branding, I paint and sculpt in various mediums and with multiple materials.

3form, originally Architectural Solutions, was a client of Huddleston Malone Design (HMD) from 1999-2002. In addition to creating their current name, we developed a new brand architecture along with digital and print assets. We ultimately wrote, managed, and executed many aspects of 3form's marketing plan. After HMD dissolved in 2002, 3form personally approached me soon after to work in-house as the Creative Director/Marketing Lead. For a predetermined period of two years.

I co-founded Huddleston Malone Design in Salt Lake City in 1991. We started as a two person design firm and at that time, my core competencies were design, information architecture, and illustration. My experience and knowledge base quickly expanded as the company grew and took on more and more diverse clients. By 1995, we were a 20+ person design firm with a broad range of clients and project scopes under our purview.

By 1995, we were a 20+ person design firm with a broad range of clients and project scopes under our purview. In another three years, we were up to 35+ creatives and my position in the firm grew exponentially into the roles of Creative Director and Senior Marketing Consultant with the term “branding” only beginning to take hold industry-wide. In addition to managing all aspects of a growing design firm with my partner, Barry Huddleston, I was the Lead Creative Director overseeing client relationships, new businesses, designers, production teams, copy writers, and account executives. The firm ultimately grew to 40 creatives and billed 5 million dollars in 1998. In 2002, mostly due to the events that followed 9/11, the firm dissolved. Show less

As a freelance designer I took on a multitude of diverse projects included: logos, letterhead, menus, brochures, collateral, flyers, direct mail, posters, t-shirts, signage, packaging, advertising, publications, illustrations, etc. I produced all my own work and managed vendors and printers as needed.

I worked on numerous projects and was given the opportunity to meet and pitch most clients. Select projects included: publication design, packaging, advertising, illustration, events, direct mail and collateral. I managed the production of most projects including, computer (design and production) photography, typesetting, press checks etc.

At Richards and Swenson, I worked as a junior designer and was focused on learning all aspects of the business. I was given incredible and challenging design projects in addition to collaborating with the occasional client. I joined in on many photoshoots and press checks where I learned a ton from our top-notch computer production team who created all prepress files.
