BRANDING BUSINESS COLLATERAL ADS EDITORIAL DESIGN LIFESTYLE POTOGRAPHY WEB DEVELOPMENT
BRANDING A logois an instant reminder of a company or product, to the client, they’re the point of recognition on which their brand hangs; and to me they represent the challenge of incorporating the clients’ ideologies into one single graphic. It is developing a brand and communicating a position with a graphic that is simple yet strong in telling the right message. The most important step is to know who the company is, what they do and what their demographic is in order to come up with a powerful images that will last a lifetime.
BUSINESS COLLATERAL Often the first thing prospects see. It is the first opportunity to make a positive and strong impression about a business or product. A professional brand needs to accurately reflect the vision of such organization with images and style representing your identity. A business collateral package designed and created with all the intention to give a lasting positive impression of you, resulting in more business.
ADS Dedicated design to tell the world about what businesses offers. All ads are designed with a goal in mind and the creative process should evolve from this goal. All graphic elements in an AD need to guide a potential customer to the call of action. Ads are also designed with the intention to give a brand presence in a designated media channel, create community engagement or give status to the brand.
EDITORIAL DESIGN Asthetics in annual presentations are of great importance. Developing ideas and layouts that will narrate a story or showcare valuable information to especific readers is key when designing for these kind of publications. The newer version should be a leap ahead of its former publication and all information needs to be presented in a fresher way to keep readers interested.

LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY My goal is to create a portrait that expresses the uniqueness of each client. I photograph in a free-style way that creates images with natural expression for portraits beyond the ordinary.
WEB DEVELOPMENT A website can serve as an extension of your business card, with information about you, your industry, and services offered. Most important, your website should detail your background, experience, and other credentials to give you credibility and give potential customers more confidence when deciding whether or not to deal with you. My commitment is to build a brand’s web presence with compelling design solutions. A combination of form and function to create websites that not only look great, but also guide the user down the path of conversion.
