Work experience
Royal Marketing and Design
Creative Director | 06/2006 - Current
Royal Marketing and Design was founded in 2006 with the simple idea to keep design simple and effective. We prefer to call this simple idea 'Nature Inspired Design' because, in nature, everything has a purpose and yet is very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Royal Marketing and Design believes good design can and should do same thing.
I've had the pleasure to work with many fantastic clients who have seen their businesses flourish and grow as a result of our working together. I consult with my clients and help strategize and plan out a best course of action from branding to a website campaign and everything in between. This hands on approach and interaction with the client has helped grow me to become a better designer and strategic thinker.
