About

Hi There! I’m Rick.

Creative. Resourceful. Responsive.

I’m proud that colleagues and clients repeatedly use these words to describe working with me.

I grew up loving art, music and everything creative. After attending college at Baldwin-Wallace University, I went to work in the business world, where I learned how the art of graphic design is a business tool to set a mood, influence people and support business goals.

For over 20 years, I’ve been a trusted design partner serving the marketing and communications needs of corporations, media outlets, nonprofits and publishing companies across the United States. Whether working with a nonprofit organization on a shoestring budget or a large Fortune 500 organization with significant resources, I will find the right solution for every situation—delivered with personal and responsive service.

My areas of specialty include corporate marketing and branding, marketing collateral, magazine & newspaper design, annual reports, catalog and textbook design, and print and digital advertising. Need help with something else? Try me, and let’s see what we can come up with together!

Before establishing my freelance design business, I served as Creative Services Manager for a global AmLaw 100 law firm headquartered in Washington, D.C., where I led the firm’s rebranding initiative and provided design services supporting the firm’s marketing and business development strategies across six U.S. offices.

I also was Publications Manager for Tax Executives Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based industry association, where I oversaw the design and production of the organization’s many publications and marketing materials.

Originally from the Cleveland, Ohio area, I lived for over two decades in Washington, D.C., and today call Erie, Pennsylvania home. I am a fan of all Cleveland sports teams, I love Prince, and I share my desk with a self-important rescue cat, Brawler.
