Things I like to do
Creative design solutions that have staying power
Graphic Design / Branding
Design is more about advising than being creative. My personal approach to everything I do for clients is MAYA: Most Advanced, Yet Acceptable. I design for the audience. The craft should be pushed forward but not so far that it alienates the people it's intended for.
Capture attention and tell stories. There is power in taking a static image and choreographing its movement and transition to each talking point.
Legacy Films
Beyond Preserving old photos, and videos, I record high quality interviews from family members, then thoughtfully cut all the visual assets together, add the right music and titles to craft a story that's compelling and watchable.
Typography
Type is the most abstract of all art forms. The characters make sense only if you can read. Only the initiated can understand it. Type can express sentiment, feeling, mood. My love of typography is grounded in classic letterforms; I appreciate the craft of those who have gone before and fold their strategies into my own work
