I have recently ventured out on my own to pursue brand-strategy and creative consulting opportunities. Due to proprietary concerns, I've removed my past work from this site. However, it is still available upon request. Please visit the about page to learn more about my successes, past clients and an overview of my thinking and approach to branding and creative.

Just bought a bottle of wine with one of my labels on it (designed in 2003). It's Horton Vineyard's Niagara and it's actually really great white wine. The label is clear on the front and has Niagara Falls in the back, so the barrel you see on the front of the bottle appears to be going over the falls as you look through the bottle since the label wraps around. (Click on the image to enlarge). Available at Total Wine and other places...

I had the opportunity to return as a judge for the 2010 International Web Awards (www.webawards.org). It's great to see what is being designed not only in the U.S., but from all across the world. It was also interesting to notice that a lot of the best work (in my opinion) was designed for smaller organizations and not the Fortune 500 companies. However, some of there work was very nice as well. Winners should be announced soon.

I'm excited to announce that I won 2 International Design Awards from the Summit International Creative Awards (www.summitAwards.com). I won for the NISH 2010 Annual Conference Identity and the AbilityOne Network Design Challenge Campaign (seen here).

The AbilityOne Network Design Challenge Campaign receives a Davey Award for Integrated Campaign. This campaign consisted of direct mail, brochures, packaging, posters and magazine ads. 

The Davey Award is presented by the International Academy of Visual Arts and I am extremely excited to have received this award, especially for a campaign I guided from concept to completion.
