Design services

Brand identity  ·  Websites  ·  Ongoing care

I build brand identities and websites for businesses, nonprofits, and practices. One person, start to finish: the same hands that make the murals and the artwork design the logo and write the code.

I love working with clients, new and old. I have been at this for over twenty years, mostly by referral, and a lot of those relationships are still going. I am not a vendor you file a ticket with. I am the person who does the work, and the person you talk to. What I care about is helping people, businesses, and services solve real problems.

▲ Public work

Work that had to hold up in public.

Some of what I make goes on permanent walls. My murals and sculptures are installed at Starbucks locations at JFK Terminal 4, at Union Market in Washington D.C., and at the Starbucks Global Headquarters in Seattle. The Union Market store was the first built under Starbucks' Inclusive Spaces Framework, the design standard the company now applies to new and renovated stores across the country.

▲ What I do

The core engagement: brand and web.

Most projects are a single engagement that covers the whole thing: a visual identity, a website built to carry it, and a year of looking after the result.

Logo and visual identity

A custom mark, not a template. You get a primary logo with alternates, a color palette with full hex, RGB, and CMYK values, a typography system, a brand guidelines document, and all the source files.

WordPress website

A fast, self-hosted WordPress build that reflects the identity and is made to be found. Mobile-first and fully responsive, with an SEO foundation, analytics, contact forms, basic integrations, and speed work before launch.

A year of maintenance

After launch the site stays current and secure for a full year. WordPress and plugin updates, security monitoring, content changes when you need them, a monthly performance check, and direct access to me with no ticketing system in the way.

Every project is scoped to what it actually needs, so there is no fixed package price and no hidden fees. The place to start is a conversation, and a real quote comes after we talk.

▲ Who it's for

The right fit matters most.

The work suits small businesses and professional practices, nonprofits and mission-driven organizations, hospitality and culture brands, and people who already understand that design is communication, not decoration. Brooklyn-based, working with clients across the country.

We are a fit if you want one person who owns the work from start to finish, you value craft and are willing to invest in it, you have a real business that needs a real brand, and you are ready to make decisions and move.

We are probably not a fit if you need a logo by tomorrow, you are shopping for the cheapest option, you want to direct every pixel yourself, or you are still figuring out what you want. No hard feelings. I would rather be honest up front.

▲ Beyond brand and web

The practice runs deeper.

Brand and web are the core, but the range goes further, and existing clients often grow into these.

SaaS and web app design

Interface design, UX thinking, and prototyping for software, platforms, and digital tools, from concept to something clickable.

AI integration and workflow

AI-powered workflows and agentic pipelines, built and deployed for businesses navigating the shift, not just advised on.

Illustration and visual art

Original illustration, character work, and commissioned artwork, from small editorial pieces to large public murals.

Animation and motion

Animated content, motion graphics, and a large GIF archive built over years on GIPHY.

▲ Start here

Tell me about your business.

No forms, no automated responses, no funnel. Write to me, tell me what you are building and what you need, and a real person (me) writes back. We work out the scope and a quote from there.
