I am a co-owner of Design Kompany, a creative business branding service based out of Capitol Hill. We talk to small business owners like you, and find out about what you do, what you like, and what you care the most about. We have a method that translates all your thoughts and ideas into communication that makes your vision clear and visible.

Design Kompany is best at figuring out what your business's core message is, and execute that message effectively, be it through your web site, business identity or an ad campaign. I am best at synthesizing ideas and thoughts into a Big, Bad, New Idea and fitting it into the big picture. My partner and I have 15 years of working together as a team in graphic design, journalism, marketing, and sales.

We would love to work with small businesses and startups that are ready to take their businesses to the next level with a professional image. We are also always on the lookout for skilled artists of all disciplines.

M.S. in Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management (with Event Management concentration and Graphic Design minor) at North Carolina State University.

I have managed marketing department of three small companies for the combined 7 years, while running Design Kompany on the side. Now I have been running the business full-time for five years.

Design Kompany has helped over fifty (30+ in Seattle) businesses make their story visible. We have worked with an international software company, a local Japanese restaurant, a Seattle architecture startup, helped a local community newspaper re-launch in their 25th year, re-branded a Capitol Hill/Friday Harbor-based design firm, branded a dog day care business in Portland, and created the logo for Capitol Hill Chamber of Commerce.
