About this service

Summary

Design by Quote
When you have a project that's multi-faceted and comprised of multiple elements, sometimes a package won't do it justice. Let me know what you have planned; most likely, no matter what it is, I’ve done that type of work in the course of my decades in this line of work.
If I haven’t, I’ll let you know straight away. If I know of an alternate resource, I’ll refer you to someone in my network who can assist you.
Below are some example services I’m frequently asked to do for clients. This list isn’t exhaustive — just ask, and you’ll get a straight answer about whether I’m the right person for the job.
Presentation Design
I've worked with clients like Microsoft, Blue Prism, the DoD, and many more to help them tell their stories or make their pitches. I can work in PowerPoint or Google Slides (although I personally recommend the former) and use a bag of tricks that let me make decks that help you look amazing.
Pricing is by quote. Factors affecting price include slide count, number of custom illustrations or infographics, animation needs (PowerPoint-native or embedded video), and the audience you’re targeting.
Illustration & Mascot Characters
Nikon, Denso, JAL, Datastax, Demandbase, and others have engaged me to create custom mascot characters (yuru-chara) for their brands. I provide not just a base concept, but modular characters designed for rapid expansion, posing, and internal team use.
This is honestly one of my favorite kinds of work — so the price will be right, because I enjoy doing it. As with all of my work, character designs are delivered with full rights-assignment to your organization, allowing you to expand and apply them however you like, with or without me in the future.
Motion Graphics
Whether it's a full animated commercial, a NASDAQ tower display, an animated infographic, stage backgrounds and digital signage, or simply a lower-third template — I can make it happen. I’ve done just that for clients like Microsoft, the DoD, Blue Prism, Datastax, and more.
Work is typically done using After Effects and Blender (along with Illustrator and Photoshop as needed). Pricing is highly dependent on complexity — let’s talk through your vision and determine the right scope.
Social Media Assets
I can help you create social media posts that stop a doomscroller in their tracks. Whether as one-off designs or campaign-focused, branded template systems (with training for your team), I’ll help you meet your goals of looking professional and scroll-worthy on social.
Product Brand Visuals
(mockups, 3D renders, overlays, callouts)
Do you have a new product that needs to be shown to investors or partners in a realistic context — with feature callouts, overlays, or polished visdev? Need to generate compelling visuals for packaging, tech documentation, or a product launch without the expense of prototyping?
I’ve been on both the design and production sides. I understand the language of product tech packs, exploded diagrams, and feature callouts — for both internal and customer-facing use. I can help you present your product in the best and most appropriate light for your audience.
Asset Clean-Up & Fixes
Sometimes a designer, or agency, delivers something conceptually solid, but technically... not so much.
You might have a logo that’s served you well for five years, only to realize it falls apart in certain media. Or a color palette that looks great on screen but turns to mud in CMYK. Maybe your branding started with a great mark, but now it’s grown into something that needs a real system.
It’s OK. I’ve been in this industry long enough to know that not every designer is Paul Rand, and not every early-stage brand gets it right the first time.
If your visuals are almost there but not quite, I can help you get them the rest of the way:
Vector/logo cleanup & reformatting
Color alignment across RGB, CMYK, Pantone, or RAL
Creating a foundational style guide from what you already have
Cleaning up messy files and building production-ready kits
Rebuilding assets from flattened, partial, or low-res sources
Your brand deserves to look as professional as you are. Let’s fix it up.
