Creative Director, Graphic Designer, Business Owner
Cedar Rapids, Iowa Area
I have several years of experience working with small businesses and organizations to assist with their design, print and marketing challenges.
Services that I provide include graphic design, logo design, desktop publishing/page layout, product branding, mascot development, brochure design, full color digital printing, black and white digital printing, corporate identity, personalized e-mail marketing and consulting.
Perhaps my greatest strength is my ability to understand my client's specific needs at what I define as the "ownership" level. Being a business owner, too, I'm able to identify my client's needs from their perspective in regards to their goals, strategies, deadlines and budget. This experience has allowed me to develop a unique sense for smart solutions to their print and e-communications needs.
