      Pittsburgh, PA
      Aug 2001 - Present (21 years 10 months)
      As a creative director, working in many formats on a myriad of different projects, the scope of work that I encounter begins by consulting with a client on their needs, then holding a brainstorming session to assess the scope of work, identify quantifiable solutions by way of critical design thinking, estimating costs, curating teams + time-lines and executing solutions.
      As a graphic designer, I have developed corporate identity, branding, and logo designs; packaging and environmental design; original annual report + quarterly financials, newsletters, a history book and magazine publications; advertisements, copy-writing, content, styling; websites, posters, promotional items and information packages.
      Much like publication design, my interior consulting process negotiates two stipulations—what a grid space has to offer and what is being asked of the space. Following basic design fundamentals: form follows function; conclusions include an evaluation of what resources exist, space planning, layout, textile selections, wall coverings, lighting, styling with special/personal finds, estimating costs, and curating teams + time-lines.
      Coupled with graphic design, environment design, event planning and design management have allowed my process to include influencing a client's brand with tangible experience factors—meant to excite all sides that encounter the brand.
