People have described me as the most accident prone person they know. I like to think that it's not because I'm uncoordinated but because I enjoy high-risk activities such as soccer, snowboarding and walking. Thankfully, design isn't a contact sport and can be done from the safety of my desk. Whether you need a website or a logo created for your fledgling business I'll be able to collaborate with you to come up with a solution that fits your needs, expectations and your budget.

John is a valuable asset to any company and his creativity and understanding of current and future trends reflect in his design work. Beyond his thorough understanding of print techniques and color management, he is also a highly competent in the world of web design. As a coworker, he was a pleasure to work with on all projects and was comfortable being a director and backed up his direction with clean, clear design work. From initial concept to final execution, he was always on top of deadlines and making sure the end product was up to his high expectations.
