In order to be a well versed and skillful artist, one must learn to not only work and develop one area of expertise. Lately with the pandemic, a lot of clients with tight budgets will want a new logo design or a re-design of their existing logo.

This allows me to get the client to really do some deep soul searching for their own company.

The following logos were created for clients from the West-coast, midwest and even here in the south.

When I am not thinking of ideas for advertisements for products or services, I enjoy drawing and photography.

These are skillsets I’ve been blessed with since I was born and will continue to add to this page with more up to date work.

This is a series of photographs I have taken throughout my years of traveling from places such as my home city – San Francisco, Chicago, Birmingham, Hong Kong to the mountains of Utah and Colorado.
