About Me
I grew up traveling the world, which was a nice perk of being the son of a Geophysicist in the Oil Industry. I was blessed with the opportunity to visit more countries in the first 15 years of my life than most get to over a lifetime.
I attended Louisiana State University, and obtained a Bachelors of Fine Art, with a concentration in Graphic Design.
Using the principles I learned from studying traditional graphic design, over the past decade I have expanded my expertise to include Environmental Graphics & Way-finding, Digital Signage, and Project Management.
I work with customers from all walks of life: Everything from real estate development, architecture & construction, to medical facilities & education institutions.
Signage is one of the most overlooked parts of a construction project, but if done properly, can have the largest impact on visitors to a new facility. Great way-finding should blend with the aesthetics of the space, but not be obtrusive in it’s design. It must have good contrast and provide useful information when reviewed, but fall into the background when not needed.
On every project I work on, I attempt to create the perfect combination of usefulness and memorability so that visitors to a customer’s facility get the experience required to have a lasting impact.
Here are a few customers I have worked with & their acknowledgements for a job well done:

Garth,
I want to thank you for your patience with my many, many questions about our options, manufacturing and installation. I learned so much; I know next time will be much easier for everyone involved as a result.
It was a pleasure working with you, and I hope to have the opportunity to do so again.
