Art Director/Designer - RAD designs, LLC
Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul Area
I AM A DESIGNER. I strive to create visual solutions - whether that be through a website interface, a brochure design, a logo design or business cards. Using design as a method of communication to solve problems and create visual order is what I thrive on. The most common types of projects I work on include: Website User Interface Design,
Printed Materials (business cards, posters, brochures, catalogs, product packaging, etc.), Logos & Brand Identities,
XHTML & CSS Development.
Many people think of me as a computer whiz - this is actually not the case. I merely use a computer as my tool of choice to perform my job - and yes, that computer is a Mac.
I've had the pleasure of working with and representing many great brands and companies, some of the more recognizeable names include: General Mills, Polaris, The History Channel, Nature Vision, Best Buy, and Billy Graham Ministries.
I've also had the pleasure of working for/with a number of local agencies and other local talent such as: Pixel Farm, Tierney Minneapolis, Russell Herder, THEY design, Manthei Design, eSolutions Web Services, and more.
