    With fifteen years in the industry I have seen several revolutions

    Today I am using this experience to help clients and employers ensure their brands are functioning effectively.
    As a member of numerous marketing/design/development teams I’ve been responsible for ensuring consistency in brand, design and delivery across global networks and all media and formats including website, emails and signage. I believe good, working departments are becoming increasingly self-sufficient, with absolutely no need for external design companies or agencies. Today’s model is very different from that of even ten years ago. Growing skill-sets and software advancements have assisted departments in improving their system of delivery.
