About
I smile when I tell people "I love what I do," and in the end, my work shows that. I set the same goal for every client; give them the most unique and creative experience possible; engage and include them in all aspects of their projects; and build the best working relationships through effective visual translation of their intended message. Open and honest dialogue has always proven to be successful; and if they aren't successful, neither am I.
Additionally, I'm also a fan of design, and take every opportunity to learn as much as I can through trade magazines and tutorials. It's the best way to further serve my clients, and maintain long lasting relationships.

He helped us articulate visually precisely what we wanted the Centre to convey with a brand, in a way that we never dreamed was possible.

Other Interests
I'm an avid hockey fan, and manage to get on the ice at least once a week. I have a tight-knit group of friends I've known since grade school, and we still get together to try bluff each other out of those monster pots. My love for fitness, and animals often get the dog and I out jogging. Most of all, I love my wife and son more than anything in the world. They're what makes my life unique and special.
Mac & Co.
Mac & Co.'s brand struggled to convey that they were a credible, professional and sophisticated resource for environmental solutions. The brand was stripped down and overhauled starting with the logo. The idea was to portray an environmetally friendly, hands off approach to the cost effective and proactive service they offer.
Parts Now
After an Identity refresh, the main goal was to implement a brand manual to ensure consistency which had previously been lacking. After defining the Parts Now brand, we continued to develop area's of new business such as the R4 Assessment Pro software.
Tangent
With the launch of Tangent's website was also the beginning of the "be remarkable" campaign. With that said; Tangent needed to build credibility as a new company, so a strong understated look was chosen. It showed what Tangent was capable of, but also didn't detract from the portfolio of now remarkable clients.
Printfleet
Printfleet is the global leader in Print Management Technology and Solutions. In 2008 the brand went under a major overhaul. The slogan "The choice for print management is black and white" weighed heavily on this rebrand. Creating the new brand for an already established company was difficult, but the change was embraced and Printfleet finally had a unified look and feel throughout all its customer facing, and internal communications.
Various Identity
These three clients all prefered an immediately recognizable literal image that has been simplified and stylized.
Judo Book
The authors one request for this design was he didn't want to see any people doing judo on the cover. He felt it didn't accurately illustrate the contents of the entire book. This book was printed with one color on different color papers.
