The first sketch for a new logo.

The first sketch for a new logo.

This is a horizontal tri-fold brochure that myself and a graphic designer created as part of WMEAC’s membership and branding refresh project. I led a competitor analysis of marketing materials, as well as, directing the graphic designer in the development of the concept for the brochure. Our goal was to create a brochure with strong design elements that was budget friendly and could be printed in house. I also presented the brochure and our recommendations to the marketing board. The brochure was approved and contributed to an increase in memberships.

Social Media/Website work

This is a brief list of the most relevant website and social media work I’ve done. I either created or managed and maintained all the sites listed for an extended period of time. Some I am still involved with and some I’m not.


I helped develop and maintain a website for the Grand Rapids, Portage, and Battle Creek Step Out walks. I added content that included child ambassador profiles, sponsorship logos and information, and registration and guideline information. I worked with Wow Web Works to create the site, which is no longer active but was successful in it’s goal of getting more participants and volunteers.

About:

Have you ever thought, "I just like that thing, for some odd reason"

Do you know what that odd reason is? Well, I don't think most of us do, but I do think that that reason is a very good reason to like whatever it is you like. It could be a song, a word, a color, an advertisement, or a particular flavor of jelly bean. All you know is that you like it and although there is a reason... you just can't explain it. I want to create that feeling in people and this site is dedicated to my efforts towards discovering those odd reasons.

I am always eager to hear a good story over a cup of rich black coffee.

Please, feel free to contact me and tell me your story.
