I'm a marketing consultant for small businesses and entrepreneurs in San Diego, CA, with a passion for creative visual communication that dovetails with an equally creative strategy.
I solve marketing problems for my clients, usually through the creation of unique and effective websites, emails, logos, printed pieces and illustrations, but sometimes just with a good conversation, too.
Why all the orange? It perfectly encapsulates my philosophy: it’s approachable and gets noticed - just how your message should be represented.
Unlike many designers, I have an 8-year background as an integrated marketing strategist for some well-known folks.
Now, I use what I've learned to help passionate small business owners and entrepreneurs (like yourself) who want to market effectively and efficiently to their customers. Check out some of my work below, and then drop me a line - I can probably help.
I specialize in creating small, clean and useable websites that are easily maintained and upgraded, yet are infused with the personality of your business.
I will work with you to determine your overall business goals, and create a website that directly helps you reach them. In many cases, I can also help you update your existing website with new content and functionality.

Email is an indispensible marketing channel, but can be difficult to plan and design for effectively.
Luckily, I'm an expert in email marketing and deliverability for small businesses and have worked with many email service providers of varying sizes, from small-volume providers such as Constant Contact and Vertical Response, up to mass email marketers like ExactTarget and Acxiom. I can help you craft well-designed and effective email campaigns that your subscribers and customers will respond to.

Your logo is a critical part of how your business is perceived by your employees as well as your customers - it's a symbol of everything you stand for, and hope to achieve in your endeavors.
I work to understand exactly what makes your business tick, and use that insight to create a unique and meaningful identity for you and your team to call your own, and for customers to instantly recognize.
