- Publication Design.
- I specialize in creating unique reader experiences in print and online. Although known for making the most bold images, my real passion and abilities lie with type. From meticulous body text to ornate, custom hand-styles and faces, type makes all the difference when setting your piece apart from the rest.

- Identity & Branding.
- Your brand is not your logo, but your logo can most definitely help establish your brand. As the most recognizable part of your business’ personality, it’s tragic to take on a lifeless, generic one. Send a powerful message. Set yourself apart with a versatile, solid and unique identity.
-
- Campaign Art Direction.
- Reaching today’s hectic and oversaturated markets takes versatility. Your message may need to get out via an integrated campaign across direct mail, web, email and outdoor media: can your designer pull it off? Are you willing to risk that kind of exposure and expense if they can’t?
-
- Custom Website Design.
- There’re a lot of websites too big, too involved and too costly for the average business and their end-user. Other businesses try to squeeze what they can from a limited template or blog-style site. And of course there are a ton of just plain ugly, hard-to-navigate sites that simply aren’t doing their job: to communicate what it is that makes your business unique and worthy of attention. Not every designer out there knows what makes a site cross-browser compliant, forward-compatible, search engine friendly and how to visually stand out from the crowd. I’m proud to say I’m one of the few that can.

- Specialty Packaging Design.
- Perception makes a lot of difference. A $5 shirt becomes $40 streetwear in the right package. Alternative solutions and printing processes make an amazing case (no pun intended) for even the most mundane.
-
- Posters, Illustration & Custom Typography.
- As a life-long artist I bring a level of craft and creativity not found in your garden-variety computer jock. Your project is unique and deserves a bespoke, memorable design.
-
- Cause-Oriented Design.
- Passionate about social justice and formally educated in political science, I bring a unique perspective to promoting your cause. Special pricing for non-profits.
-
- Industry Leadership.
- Whether competing in the Adobe Cut & Paste tournament in San Francisco or at a local Pecha Kucha night, lecturing at UC Davis or teaching at Sacramento City College, I am an active and well-respected professional in the graphic design community.
