Since 2007, I've led and contributed to dozens of projects as a strategic partner, illustrator, designer, art director, and creative consultant. I've worked with local and international clients, from ambitious solopreneurs to multinational brands.
From project to project, my driving forces are always the same:
- understand the client and their goals
- establish project parameters
- address potential issues before they grow into bigger setbacks
- bring something beautiful into the world
MEASURE TWICE, DESIGN ONCE.
I ask a lot of questions.
I do everything I can to get a complete picture of what's needed, and if we're a good fit for each other. All the boring stuff comes first: budget, scope, medium, timeline,
etc.
With these parameters in place, we'll get into the Good Stuff:
- What core issues are we trying to solve here?
- What are we trying to say, and who are we saying it to?
- How will the work be used, and where, and how often?
- Are there short-term solutions that may lead to long-term issues?
If I've done my job here, a smooth path to the end product is all but inevitable: the single, well-aimed stroke that cracks the problem in
half!
