PROCESS

“Make it look pretty”
“Can you arrange for some marketing fairy dust to be applied?”

These are just some of the many briefs I’ve had from corporate lawyers to spruce up their legal copy.

As much as content is important, the design and illustration of a pitch or web page is equally important to draw the consumer in and hold their interest. From selling pizzas to corporate legal services, I understand that visual identity and impactful design is a key process to making that sale or winning that pitch.

I love what I do, and even more so knowing my contribution is valuable.
