As a graphic designer and magazine publisher for the hospitality and tourism industries, I help spread the word about and encourage people to experience unique places and events in our region. It is important to have marketing pieces that properly express the "personality" of a destination, so that they can effectively engage the audience before, during, and after their experience. However, also I understand the special challenges that can be presented when promoting places and events, such as tight time frames and quick turn-around times, and the need for a creative use of budget. So for my design clients, I draw on life-long creative interests, 24 years of experience in the field, and a hand-picked network of trusted creative professionals to help them reach their marketing goals. I can help plan a project, photograph a business, design the printed pieces, coordinate the printing, and keep track of all the details along the way using my strong organizational skills. If the punch list of marketing projects includes those that are not within my core skill set, I will call upon my carefully selected group of strategic partners to help get the job done.Hospitality and tourism can be overlooked as important industries, but their contributions to local economy and culture are more significant than some may think. My goal is isn't just to design for these businesses, it's to be a partner in getting their message out and contributing to their success. So in 2017, I co-founded Pinpoint: Pennsylvania Magazine, which is dedicated to telling the stories of the unique places throughout our state.If you need help promoting a special place or event, please get in touch to see how I can help you stay on track to meeting your marketing goals with my graphic design services, my tourism magazine, or both!
