I believe that strong branding, with clean and efficient design, is essential for a successful and sustainable business. I've been lucky enough to receive some nice accolades, including 75+ American Advertising Federation Addy awards, 50+ American Graphic Design Awards, 5 AIGA CASE Awards, and a Telly while working with national brands like Band-Aid, ExxonMobil, MIT, The Washington Post, LEGO, and National Geographic. I've been focusing on brand strategy, customer engagement, and product development for smaller businesses and startups, designing websites and presentations that move, motivate, inspire, and teach. Way before the remote revolution, when everyone started using Zoom, I worked with teams across the U.S. and Europe. Occasionally, I'll take on projects that require a short drive, a quick flight, or a few days' stay to gather information, meet the team, and brainstorm a concept. However, I've proven that I am most productive when working from my small studio just outside of Nashville. My brain is wired to find order in chaos – call it a superpower if you like. I thrive when faced with a problem and love a good challenge. How can I help you?

    uniE621 CPG Digital Website Design
    As a startup, the logo was the closest thing CPG Digital had to brand standards at the time, but they had an amazing service. I interviewed the team and helped them organize their pitch and calls to action. Then, I wrote the copy, designed the web/brand standards, and developed this small responsive site in Webflow.

    uniE621 Dataswift Website Design
    Dataswift created a decentralized personal data server technology that enables individuals to directly license their personal data to apps on-demand as transactions. This website was early in the storytelling phase, and they were still trying to find their voice and messaging. I helped them wrangle the structure and the brand standards. I also built the site in Webflow. To see more detail, visit: https://www.twine.net/signin webdesign websitedesign copywriting webflow webflowdevelopment webflowdeveloper designer
