It’s an unorganized mess in here 😀
On this page, you’ll encounter a collection of my earliest graphic design, marketing, and advertising creations, preserved from 2009 and earlier. These artifacts serve as a poignant reminder of my humble beginnings and the transformative journey I’ve undertaken in the realm of creativity. I keep them close not just for nostalgia’s sake but also as a testament to the profound changes witnessed in technology and media over the years. They stand as visual markers of where I came from, showcasing the evolution of design trends, technological advancements, and shifts in consumer behavior. As I revisit these creations, I am reminded of the lessons learned, the challenges overcome, and the endless possibilities that lie ahead in the ever-evolving landscape of design and communication.

Examples of Marketing Material
With my various backgrounds in design, technology, emerging trends, and marketing – I can bridge the gap between your high-level marketing strategy and implementation team. I can communicate effectively with designers, marketing personnel, developers, and executive members to guide your projects from conception through completion.
Marketing is one of the primary ways for a new business to make contacts and grow a customer base, while an established business can use its affiliations to bolster new business and show a value above that of its competitors.

Magazine Ads from 2009
While Print Production in the US may be lower, it’s still a very common means of advertising for many businesses. If you’re interested in a Graphic Designer with Advertising experience then you’ve come to the right place. Below are some samples of Ads placed in various magazines. From 2007 to 2009 I was creating three new ads a month for Nevada Business Journal, Business Press, In Business, Western Real Estate Business, Luxury Homes Magazine and other Southern Nevada publications. I also placed text based ads in the Wall Street Journal about once a quarter.

Corporate Event Print, PDF and Email Designs from 2009
It’s important as a designer to constantly replenish yourself with ideas, think outside the box if you will, and ultimately keep your creative muscles in shape. While some may find corporate environments repetitive or dull at times, incorporating fun events for the sales teams, staff, etc can be a good way to get those imaginative juices flowing. Below are samples of work created for various events in Southern Nevada, though I have done many for places in the Bay Area as well.
