Awards & Recognition

I measure the success of each design project by how well it fulfills the client’s needs and marketing objectives. Along the way I have been honored with some of the industry’s most  prestigious awards, and my designs have been published in a number of  the top design publications including American Graphic Design, Creativity Annual, and Rockport Publishers.  I feel this is not only recognition of the design quality I provide with every project, but a reflection of how well I work with clients.
