As a Brand Architect, I work with clients to extract their true brand essence, and then define a clear message that engages their customers. I direct our team in developing Big Picture concepts that become design and communication tools. Once we launch these print, packaging, event or web-based tools, we ultimately elevate our client’s brand equity.

My architecture background helps clients understand the value in using design and branding to create a better customer experience.

In my view, Brand Architecture involves an intentional approach to problem-solving. Compared to a conventional “designer” approach, architecture is a more precise way to build a brand. Our clients prefer this approach, and our dialogue throughout the collaborative process ensures that they are pleased with the results we achieve.
