My goal is to help people and small businesses communicate in ways that get them noticed and remembered.
Upon being informed that my employer of the past decade no longer needed my services — and discovering that my age was going to make finding something new a little more challenging — my wife suggested I combine my IT background, graphic design skills, and sarcastic wit to see if I could manufacture some added income to the U.S. government's slow repayment of my Social Security taxes.
Granted, it may also have been her way of keeping me out of her hair during daylight hours.
What started with personalized caricatures has grown into something broader: using my creativity, design, and practical marketing ideas to help individuals and locally owned businesses stand out . . . get noticed . . . and be remembered.
Why I Like Working With Small Businesses
I especially enjoy working with small business owners because I understand what it's like to work with limited resources and have to make every advertising dollar count.
That's what I hope you'll find at Festive Faces: useful ideas, creative design, practical marketing solutions and perhaps a little humor along the way.
After all, getting noticed is the first step toward being remembered.
Working Together Should Be the Easy Part.
You don't need to arrive with everything figured out. Maybe you know exactly what you want. Maybe you have the beginning of an idea. Or maybe you simply know what you're trying to accomplish and need some help figuring out how to get there.
That's where I come in.
Tell me what you're trying to accomplish, and I'll listen, ask questions, kick around some ideas and help develop a solution that makes sense for you. Whether we're creating something personal, designing something for your business or figuring out the best way to reach your customers, the process should feel collaborative—not complicated.
Your idea. My creativity. Let's see what we can make of it.
