The short and sweet: I am a graphic and web designer, copywriter, and strategist with a big picture focus on helping you visually and verbally communicate who you are, what you do, and why people should know you. I specialize in creating corporate identity, branding and websites, as well as print and online marketing communications, all geared to help grow your business.

The fat details: I specialize in creating and transforming both personal and corporate brands, eliminating empty brand promises and replacing them with meaningful visual and verbal dialogues that people can truly connect with.

The short and sweet: I am a graphic and web designer, copywriter, and strategist with a big picture focus on helping you visually and verbally communicate who you are, what you do, and why people should know you. I specialize in creating corporate identity, branding and websites, as well as print and online marketing communications, all geared to help grow your business.

The fat details: I specialize in creating and transforming both personal and corporate brands, eliminating empty brand promises and replacing them with meaningful visual and verbal dialogues that people can truly connect with.

I work closely with clients to help them connect on a deep, thought-provoking level with their customers. My services include strategic planning, actionable marketing planning, graphic design, corporate identity design, personal branding, website design, copywriting, print and online advertising, illustration, packaging and label design, and printing management.

My two biggest strengths are helping clients see how their branding and marketing effects the full picture of their businesses, and helping clients realize their visions, which often get stuck behind their fears or inner dialog.

I create brands that stand out from their competition, are remembered and even loved. Train of Thought's creations build more visibility and instant credibility for a brand than any other form of marketing. That's because we focus on making real connections with real people.

Branding is more than a buzzword to me. I have named, designed, and launched over 75 successful niche brands. I have also helped resurrect old brands to make them stand out and flourish again. Our full list of branding services includes strategy, positioning, naming, graphic design, analysis, standards development, and periodic brand audits.

My clients' communications consistently achieve exceptional results, often increasing brand recognition by 100%, website traffic by true leaps and bounds, and sales by more than 500%. In many cases, I can significantly reduce advertising expenditure while increasing response. Our work has helped businesses more than quadruple in size.

Every effort I make for my clients is geared towards increasing visibility and credibility. I have been using this approach for over 24 years, and it works every time. If you have a valuable service or product, I can help you meet or exceed your sales goals.

Working with a small budget? (Isn't everyone right now?) I can maximize nearly any budget to help you achieve your goals without overspending.

We are solely focused on obtaining maximum effectiveness for our clients. If you need to increase your web traffic or sales prospects, we can devise and launch a campaign that will achieve that goal. If your goal is increased brand recognition, we are extremely adept at getting you noticed and remembered. Even if you already have a strong brand, but you need to increase awareness, we can bring you the visibility that you need.

Call me any time for a no-charge 30-minute consultation, and you will meet an open-minded designer and writer with energy and a passion for creating outstanding marketing communications. [less]

  Kelly is an artist with a very deep understanding of the many aspects of marketing.

  His skill-set is both surprisingly deep and incredibly broad, making him a 'big picture' resource, as well as a phenomenal technician (e.g. specific layout and design).

  Finally, I've found Kelly to be a sophisticated professional who demands high standards of himself and others - and delivers.   [less]
