My process ensures that we create a product that makes sense for you.
Before we start, let's determine if we are a good fit for each other. In this meeting, I'll bring questions like, "What are your goals for your business? What other brands (competitor or not) inspire you? What problems can we solve creatively?" You'll bring any questions you have for me, and together we'll determine if a creative collaboration makes sense.

During my ten years in the creative profession, particularly in my five years of agency experience, I have been privileged to serve clients across many industries.
As part of my role as Creative Director at Andocia, I created numerous pieces of print and digital collateral to help create brand awareness and generate new donors.

The client was a faith-based nonprofit that connects ministries around the globe with the funding and training to carry out their missions. Their team had a clear vision of what they wanted to do with the ministry, but needed Andocia (the agency which I served) to build a brand and a print collateral package that communicated their mission clearly.
My task over the last few years has been to keep fresh, engaging collateral in the mailboxes (and inboxes) of the organization's top contributors. I have created annual reports, direct mail pieces, apparel, giving envelopes, donor pledge cards, and so much more. I also worked with a team of designers and developers to ensure that the new brand aesthetic was reflected in their website and email communications.
My work under Andocia to serve the organization helped to bring their brand into modernity and ensure that all their collateral was communicating in the same visual style and language. As a result, they were able to bring the new branding and materials to their regional offices around the globe, creating a much larger audience for their brand than they previously had. Their key collateral pieces have now been translated into dozens of languages and are being distributed worldwide.
Developing an exhaustive visual identity for a professional services startup.

I was privileged to develope the initial branding and style for a life optimization group that helps business leaders, entreprenuers, and driven people to figure out what their next chapter looks like, and to write it with intention. The client was fired up about their new company, and needed Andocia to build a visual identity system to match.
My task as Creative Director was to understand the culture, the offerings, and the goals of the client, so that I could develop a full brand that fit their needs for the business. They were starting the business from the ground up, so the brand had yet to take shape. This blue ocean mentality toward their brand is what excited me the most about working with a startup.
Over the course of two months, I collaborated with an Andocia designer, along with the client, to stand up a complete brand package, including a logo, colorway, brand and style guide, social media art direction, and the initial storyboards for their landing page. I was able to push some boundaries with this brand in a way that I hadn't before. The result was a loud, confident brand identity that was sure to turn heads.
Refreshing the look of a historic fine dining restaurant in the heart of Pittsburgh.

One of the greatest joys of my career has been to work with a renowned fine dining restaurant in Pittsburgh. Their menu and chefs are world class. What the restaurant needed was not a rebrand, but a visual refresh that would bring longevity to the iconic brand that Pittsburgh already knew and loved.
As Creative Director at Andocia, my role in the relationship was simple. Modernize the brand aesthetic but keep the heart of the brand intact. I was asked to update their print advertising, design new restaurant signage and posters, and update the marketing collateral around their private events and live music nights.
I loved every minute of working in the restaurant marketing space. The leadership team at the restaurant was friendly and the food was incredible. Since this brand refresh, the restaurant has seen an increased following on social media, and has made improvements in customer satisfaction, which was already extremely high. Notably, guests have commented frequently that they appreciate the new look of the brand and the great care taken in creating each piece of collateral.
Resurrecting a podcast, with a new look and a new format.

As much as I love a good true crime podcast or a daily news segment, it was no suprise that podcast production would be equally rewarding to me. The client on this project was a biweekly podcast featuring business leaders and celebrities telling their stories of success and failure in leadership. The podcast has featured notable guests from NFL personalities to CEOs of fortune 500 companies. In 2024, the podcast had taken a long hiatus, and its host approached Andocia about planning a podcast relaunch.
The overall task was to create a new visual identity and format for future releases, in order to bring back an audience that had not been active in nearly a year. My role in this, as Creative Director at Andocia, was to create new graphics, thumbnails, promotional teasers, and segment breaks for the show. I also updated the intro and outtro format with new art direction and new theme music.
I had the opportunity to serve transitionally as an executive producer on the podcast, and to eventually train a video editor to take over the week-to-week production of the show. Our big relaunch took place in December of 2024, and the show has been steadily regaining traction across Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Youtube ever since.
