Regarding
Working Together
My intent is to do what I love and to help you solve problems. I hope to gain experience in turning insights into creative, by working on developing brand identities through strategy, design, & illustration.
You may be asking yourself...
What it's like to work with me?
I am known for always wearing a smile, keeping high energy, and being the glue in my teams (if it's not fun, the work will probably suck anyway).
What do I bring to the table?
The experience and skill I bring is rooted in my business studies, focusing on strategy first. This ensures the work has a thoughtful "why?", which is the foundation of any good story and gives consumers something to connect with.
Where do I work?
I am based in Phoenix, Arizona, U.S.A., but I am willing to work remote for any project big or small. I have found that remote work generates equal if not more efficient work than in-person, so please reach out no matter where you are.
I am a Designer & Illustrator specializing in creating unique brand experiences rooted in thoughtful strategy.
Want to See Just How Creative I Am?
To save on hiring a photographer and to practice my photography skills, here is how I took my own headshots... (I used the laptop stand, cuz it's the only prop I've got that's angled).
Intro
Hey there!
Feel free to call me Will. I'm a Designer & Illustrator based in Phoenix, Arizona, U.S.A. I specialize in creating unique brand experiences rooted in thoughtful strategy. My background is in fine art & business studies, I graduated Summa Cum Laude with honors from a top business school, and I have leadership experience at the highest level.
I was born & raised in Scottsdale, Arizona where I grew up drawing like every other kid. Fortunately, I never gave it up. I loved creating unique stories and characters I could connect with and nothing has really changed; I just create those unique stories to build connections with entire communities and help grow businesses.
With a unique blend of design & illustration experience and business studies, I work collaboratively to develop cohesive creative strategy and design all aspects of branding. Services include Brand Identity Design, Branding, Graphic Design, Illustration, and Creative Strategy.
