As a Senior Art Director with HMH I start at the beginning with the clients needs. From there we concept print ad campaigns, trade show themes or digital solutions to help our clients stand out in whatever arena. From art directing photoshoots to working with illustrators I help bring ideas to life. From there I will either develop the end product or work with designers to get the details right. My work has won multiple awards for the clients and agency from local to national. But most of all it's through team work that we are able to get to ideas that are both original and push the needle.

A creative agency that develops marketing that's intended to be enjoyable for people to interact with because we believe that's what's most effective today. It's what we call "compatible branding" -- using humor, technology, community, an experience, information and/or great design to create relevance with our target audience. The name? "Saturday" just embodied the passion and optimism we want to convey in our work. It's the day that's most compatible with people's passions. About doing what you love to do!
