Info
- Summary
Well Hellooooooo there!
I'm a creative director and eCommerce strategy human with extensive experience in all aspects of branding, usability, online media campaigns and keeping it fresh. How do you define brand value? Somewhere, somehow there is always a better way to define visual experience. I strive to keep an innovative focus on that. Extensive experience from designing virtual interfaces for the financial field notably mutual fund companies, automobile and educational finance.
If you are interested in new marketing, I "get it". There is a shift in the way consumers get information and this has an impact on how corporations should reach out to audiences. Shouting out your message and waiting for an echo simply doesn't work anymore and consumers want to engage in a conversation.
Specialties: Strategic design and functionality for both corporate and non-corporate environments. Able to develop cross media communication campaigns and branding. Web site design, print design, billboard design, logo design, illustration, photography, writing, podcasting and music production. Whew!
