Since 2009, I've had the pleasure of working with the likes of Pizza Hut, Powerhouse Engineering, Chevron, GiftCenter & JewelryMart, McRoskey Mattress Co., Andronico’s Community Markets, and Robeks Juice to ideate new concepts and evolve existing ones. Our new stores for Robeks and Back Yard Burgers have resulted in immediate successes – with dramatic increases in franchisee interest, comp sales, and average check increases. It's exciting to watch clients thrive and see your efforts really pay off.

Freelanced for clients large and small in restaurant, finance, non-profit, and medical industries.

Lead Art Director and Wordsmith for global and national accounts. One of the joys of working in a smaller firm is that you're able to wear many hats – so in addition to designing and art directing, I authored strategy, headed up naming, wrote copy, and managed staff on comprehensive branding programs for KFC, Quiznos, Chevys, IHOP, Noah’s, and Haagen-Dazs. Fantastic training for running my own firm!

Created names, identities, and print collateral for clients in technology, entertainment, and medical fields, including Fortune 500 Company Datascope and Coherent Technologies. My wonderfully talented boss, Tracy, was instrumental in teaching me the process and discipline necessary to create memorable names and taglines; I developed my enthusiasm for verbal branding and have applied it to my practice ever since.
