Commercial Artist

As a free-lance Commercial Artist serving businesses of every description, I do it all. Writing, design and photography... in print and online. In addition to designing and building websites, my skills in the art of search engine optimization (SEO) are outstanding. I know how to get top ranking in Google. Few creatives have a more well-rounded understanding of marketing, the Internet and the business world you live in.

I'm much more than just a creative. I know the entrepreneurial challenges you face, the many hats you wear, the demanding hours and most of all, the financial stakes of failure. In addition to my skills as a commercial artist, I own five companies. I've run a manufacturing corporation with products in Target and Wal-Mart. I've established production facilities in the US and debugged factories abroad. I've been to China to troubleshoot manufacturing and negotiate prices. I've resolved countless problems in production, marketing and import supply chain (sourcing, ocean and air freight, interface with Customs). I've designed hundreds of booths for trade shows, taken orders and driven sales.

Unlike agency creatives who have never owned a company, I know your marketing has to work and I understand why. Unlike people who can design but cannot write, who can write but not design, who can direct photography but not build a website, who can do print but not television, who know marketing but not PR, who can talk marketing but not write a campaign, I do all these things and more.

Want to know more? Look around. There are many samples of my work and a comprehensive bio with everything you need to know.
