Practical Creativity and Communication

Working my way from desktop publishing as a teenager, to the world of hand-painted murals, and back to the much cleaner world of digital design has been a wonderful learning experience. I love helping people solve problems and cultivating new skills for that purpose. For ten years I worked at Hile Creative, a full-service branding and marketing firm in Ann Arbor, MI. I relied on a unique blend of right- and left-brain skills in a number of roles as Production Designer, Sr. Designer, Art Director, Project Manager, Web Director, and COO. Now as the Principal of Birdbrook Design, working with a team of trusted professionals, I’m focused on producing creative, yet practical, process-driven solutions to my clients’ complex design and marketing challenges.

Let’s chat.

And now for something completely different…

Before committing to the digital realm and it’s magical “undo” button, I used actual art supplies to make things happen: acrylic paint, bristle and foam brushes, pastels, and pencils.

Here is a sampling of past projects.
