Purposeful Design

Before we begin the design process, I would like to learn more about the data and your goals for the infographic. To do so, I may ask questions such as:

  • Who is it for? Who is your target audience?
  • What's the story you are trying to tell?
  • Why is this data important?
  • How will it be displayed?
  • Do you have brand standards?
  • What is the deadline and budget?
  • Printed or digital?

Thank you for considering me as your design partner. I'm excited to get started on creating an impactful and visually appealing infographic for your brand. To ensure that we are on the same page, let's meet and discuss your goals, branding standards, and all data you need displayed. This will also be a great opportunity for me to learn more about your target audience, so that we can tailor the design to their preferences and needs. Looking forward to working with you!

  • Meeting to learn the project
  • Review timelines, budget, etc
  • Make sure the project is a good fit
Step 2
Brainstorm + Sketch + Design

My next step will be to brainstorm a layout, implement a graphical theme, and apply an infographic style that will best display the data visual your audience is asking for. I'm confident that the result will be an impactful and visually appealing infographic that meets your goals and branding standards.

  • Brainstorm

Reviewing and refining the first draft design together is crucial to ensure that the final product meets your expectations. I will work with you closely to incorporate any changes and suggestions until we achieve the perfect design. Once the final proof is complete, I will provide you with all the necessary core files that can be used for both print and digital platforms.

Background

my Story
About Me

I’m a Gen X old school designer that loves seeing a viewer emotionally experience art and great design. I got my graphic design start on my very first, Apple iMac G3 Blueberry Blue model with 512mb of RAM which packed a punch back then. I learned the customer journey early on and the value of quality graphic design and marketing far before the digital era. 

After owning and operating a marketing agency for 15 years I decided it was time to sell the business and get back to my roots of graphic design. My personality is a unique mix. I have a passion for analyzing data, reviewing metrics while also creating colorful, thoughtful design (artwork). Since a young age I’ve always loved fine art. I drew comics as a kid, love painting, vector illustration, poster art, printmaking, and really just anything creative. After college my mission was to mesh the fine art world with advertising. 

That’s what I’m focused on today. I aim to use my computer as a tool like a pencil to paper. I love a good process and checklist so I find it’s important to fully understand a brand and audience before formulating a final design. 

These days data is everywhere. It’s how we determine if we are moving the needle forward in the advertising world. Reports can become overwhelming and boring. My goal is to make them easy to read, enjoyable and most importantly memorable.
