Logo Design, Brand Identity, and Packaging Design specialist with 25+ years of experience across brand strategy, creative direction, and production, 800+ completed projects, 100% Job Success on Upwork, and three international packaging design awards.
I work with established businesses, growing companies, startups, CPG brands, and consumer products that need more than an isolated design execution.
Some clients come to me for a new Logo Design or Brand Identity. Others are repositioning an established business, launching a product, redesigning Packaging, or building a visual system that needs to work across multiple products and touchpoints.
In either case, I approach the project with the larger brand system in mind.
A logo needs to work beyond the presentation where it is first approved. Packaging needs to extend across SKUs, survive production, and remain recognizable on shelf and online. A Brand Identity needs to stay consistent when marketing teams, developers, printers, manufacturers, and other vendors begin using it.
That is where my experience becomes particularly valuable.

▌ FROM CONCEPT TO REAL WORLD APPLICATION
After 25+ years in design, I understand what happens after a concept is approved.
I have worked through the complete process, from initial creative direction and identity development to packaging production, brand implementation, product line extensions, websites, and the everyday applications that make a brand actually function.
That means I am not only thinking about how the work looks today.
I am thinking about what happens when you add the next SKU, launch another product, redesign the website, send files to a manufacturer, prepare for retail, or hand the identity to another member of your team.
The goal is to build something that can grow with the business.
▌ HOW I WORK
You work directly with me throughout the project.
I lead the creative direction, develop the core concepts, and make the key design decisions.
For companies that need continued support after the initial project, I can also help expand and maintain the visual system across new products, packaging, digital applications, marketing materials, and other brand touchpoints.
This allows the initial project to become the foundation for a consistent brand rather than another isolated design file.
