Below you will find links to PDFs of work that I've done over the years. They're okay. By that I mean they show experience in a variety of formats (print ads, direct mail, brochures), but I'm not sure they're my best work to date. At best, they're the best work I have in PDF right now, for what that's worth. I'm certain that better work lies ahead. Don't we all feel that way? If you don't, you ought to consider a career change.

What else do you need to know to decide to work with me? I hope you'll take some time to check out my blog, Professional Opinions, and respond with your ideas and feedback. Here are a few blog entries posted now or coming soon...

Designers vs. Writers
Can I cut some copy? Can you cut some white space? Want to step outside?

Scanability -- Yes, It's a Word
Understanding how people read, or don't read, a brochure is critically important.

Creative, Original or Trendy
Three different attributes, often confused, each with its own merits.

Any of these topics sound interesting? Have something else on your mind? Let me know and let's talk about it.
