ExamplesLogo creation is one of the biggest and most exciting divisions within the Design Studio. Your corporate identity is often the very first detail and potential customer will see of your company. I want that first impression to project professionalism and strength. If a picture speaks a thousand words... your business logo should be capable of the same impact! I have designed dozens of logos for customers from an incredibly wide range of business interests. I invite you to contact us with your logo needs. Allow me to help create your graphic identity!
Examples
I have authored dozens of special interest articles for clients. Subjects I've written about and had published: book reviews, winter safety, decorating, explosive detection dogs, genetics of Iberian breed and bloodlines, event coverage, firearms training, etc. And no... no AI. I use my own words. I'm old-school and prefer the artistic creativity of developing articles that "paint a picture" for the reader.
If you're looking for any style of reporting (sans AI), please don't hesitate to touch base with me.
