Miller Amp Design makes old school tube amps for guitarists looking for a warm analog sound. They needed an identity and business papers. I gladly helped make that happen.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    concept, direction

When introducing a new collection of Ohio Knitting Mills knits into the Japanese market, a defining theme was required. Sometimes, the best way to paint a picture is with, well, pictures.                 

Postcards are an inexpensive and easy way to create windows into a brand experience. I'm all about them.

American Greetings built a new global Creative Studio in Cleveland in 2016, and wanted to include a display of its remarkable 110 year  history. I answered the call, and created a 42'-long visual story of the company's story.

The International Children's Games were well known in Europe, but when Cleveland was named the event's first North American host city, they needed help introducing the marvelous experience coming to town.
