SMIES DESIGN logo with stylized 'S' and 'D' in blue and black text

Design isn’t just decoration;
it’s strategy made visible.

Building comprehensive brand identities by blending strategic thinking with typography, layout, color, and AI-driven visuals.

Strategic design that transforms brands into memorable experiences.

I create thoughtful brand systems, marketing campaigns, packaging, and visual experiences that help companies connect with their audiences and grow their business.

For more than 30 years, I’ve helped brands turn ideas into clear, compelling visual experiences. My work spans brand identity, integrated campaigns, packaging, photo direction, digital, social, print, retail, and environmental applications.

I bring a rare combination of creative direction, strategic thinking, visual craft, and real-world production knowledge—allowing me to move a project from the first concept through final execution while collaborating with clients, marketers, writers, photographers, developers, vendors, and production partners.

Design with purpose. Creativity with strategy.

Great design starts with understanding the story behind the brand.

Throughout my career, I’ve partnered with startups, established companies, and consumer brands to create visual identities, marketing systems, and digital experiences that communicate clearly and consistently.

From leading brand development and packaging programs to directing photography and producing campaign assets, I combine creative thinking with real-world production expertise to bring ideas from concept to completion.

Every project begins with a question: How can design create a stronger connection between a brand and its audience?

Let’s create what’s next.

I’m interested in partnering with brands and teams that value thoughtful creative thinking, strong visual storytelling, and work that makes a measurable difference.
