I started closer to buildings than brands.
My background began in building construction, drafting, and design, where an idea eventually has to survive contact with reality. That way of thinking stayed with me even after my work moved into visual communication and marketing.
Design taught me to think about hierarchy, form, and how information is experienced. Marketing added another set of questions: Who is this for? Why should they care? What should happen next?
Over time, I became less interested in treating strategy, design, and execution as separate parts of the work.
Today, I work in the space between them.
The output changes depending on the problem. It might be a campaign, a brand direction, a content system, a website brief, a workflow, a dashboard, or a piece of visual communication.
The part I enjoy most is usually the same: getting close enough to something complicated that it starts to make sense.
