Why Me?

WHY ME? I'LL TELL YOU WHY...

THEATRICAL DESIGN BY A THEATRE PROFESSIONAL

​

As a theatre producer and director myself, I learned very quickly the importance of good graphic design. Some people think graphics aren't that important to the success of their show. In fact, it's quite the opposite! You can't hook them in with a theatrical experience unless you get the butts in the seats! That's where I come in!

​

I work with my clients to create exciting, entertaining,

eye-catching artwork that grabs attention and sells tickets.

 

For the past ten years, I have worked for numerous theatre and film companies from all over the United States on everything from key art/title treatments and marketing materials to printed set design and props. I spend time in the world of each and every show and work with the producer, director, and creative team to come up with a graphic that translates the script's tone and themes into graphic form. When you hire me, you know you're getting work that will help your theatre and it's productions stand out!

​

​

NOT JUST THEATRE DESIGN

 

While my focus and passion lie mostly in the theatre industry, my design work knows no bounds! From logo and branding creation, posters and signage, to business cards, brochures and so much more, I'll work with you to create graphics and artwork you can be proud to have representing you!

​

​

BUDGET CONSCIOUS? NO WORRIES!

 

If there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's that your show doesn't have to cost a million bucks to look like a million bucks! I've also learned that very few artists have a million bucks to pay their graphic designer. (That said, if you do, I will gladly take it!)

 

While I can't work for free, I can consult with you and together we can come up with a design and payment strategy that will work for both of us!

 

 

Check out some of the designs below to see samples of my work and see what my happy clients had to say about what I've done for them! I'll be adding new projects as they come up. And if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me via email!

​

I look forward to hearing from you and starting a wonderful collaborative relationship with you in the very near future!
