I should start by saying that I love this business. I've been doing it for years and just love it. There are a lot of other things you need from a creative consultant, but it never hurts to start with passion.

From there, you'll need someone who really gets what they're doing. A Seasoned Pro, if you will. I bring that to the table as well. In a nutshell, I start with a deep understanding of strategy, get to smart, powerful solutions efficiently and execute the work with excellence. I believe that great ideas, executed flawlessly will get you the best bang for whatever budget you have. And I have the passion and experience to do just that for you.

I'm an Art Director by trade, and cut my teeth at big agencies like JWT, Y&R and Cossette. Currently, I work with clients of all sizes. The point is, that I know exactly what it takes to deliver the best solution for your business, regardless of budget.

Previous/current clients include: Branksome Hall, Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, Scarborough Retirement Residence, CIBC, Infiniti, BMW, Labatt, Samsung, McDonald's, TIFF, Telus, Potash Corp., Bridgepoint Health, Benjamin Moore, TD Canada Trust, Medipac Travel Insurance, Procter & Gamble, United Way, BMO Bank of Montreal and Kraft, to name a few.

Process

My thinking begins with the strategy and creative that's right for the particular assignment. From there, I can execute across all relevant media. Regardless of whether you need a multi-media campaign, a TV spot, a new website, banner ads, collateral material or a print ad. I have the skills, contacts and experience to ensure exceptional results.

I work directly with clients, or on contract to agencies. I can write and art direct as a one-man show, or scale up and assemble a team dependent on the scope of the job. Regardless, the goal is always to deliver an excellent result, efficiently and professionally.

My fees are based on the scope of the job. I'm happy to discuss flat fees for certain projects, or establish daily or weekly fees, if those make more sense.

Please don't hesitate to call with any questions. I'm always ready for a new challenge, and looking forward to creating something that has great results for your business.

There are examples of what I do in the "WORK" section, but it's really just a highlight reel. If you want to see anything specific, feel free to get in touch.
