Through my own freelance graphic design, I have worked with various companies from around the country in creating a wide variety of products. Some examples include Foot Tee Golf from Michigan, DaVinci Innovations from Rhode Island, Syn-Tuwa Energy from California, and many more. Products I have worked on include clothing, logo design, packaging, company branding, etc.

As the General Manager of the Red Dog Saloon, my responsibilities range from cooking, waiting, and bar tending to scheduling, ordering, inventory, and payroll and everything in between. I am also the Creative Director for the restaurant. In this position I have created our Red Dog brand, combining the graphics from our restaurant layout, menu design, company logo and identity, website design, marketing and advertising, event planning, and apparel to all flow together into the whole experience of the Red Dog Saloon.

As a contracted designer for DaVinci Innovations, I have been responsible for all graphic, print, and web based materials including initial logo design and refinement; all sales materials, brochures, folders, sales sheets; signage; business materials such as cards, letterhead and all graphic templates for web, shipping, packaging, and print applications.

The Smalltown Lowdown was a suburban Detroit based entertainment magazine distributed monthly. In 2004 my brother and myself created this magazine to showcase our suburban metropolitan Detroit area and everything it had to offer from food, to drinks, to entertainment. As Editor and Creative Director, I was responsible for creating the company start up from logos, to page layouts, to advertising sales and design, to distribution, to printing, etc. It was a small company centered around three people so I was able to flex my talents in writing, photography, graphic design, logistics, and management. We decided to go strictly web-based in late 2007.
