Hi there! I’m Josh!

 

You’ve probably found my website in the midst of your search to bring your brand or project to life. The world of branding can oftentimes feel overwhelming and vast. I am here to help guide you through!

I would title myself primarily as a visual storyteller. I believe stories help us make sense, further explain, and provide clarity in a world that is constantly bombarding us with noise. Design and clear messaging are our greatest assets to help you build your brand, launch your project and garner the attention you deserve.

“Story helps because it is a sense-making mechanism. Essentially, story formulas put everything in order so the brain doesn’t have to work to understand what’s going on.”– Donald Miller, “Building a Storybrand”

 
 

Most designers will tell you some prolific story about how they winded up in this ever-expansive business. How they were building collages as kids with their parents or knew from middle school that design was their calling. My upbringing into the world of branding was a bit…different. You see, I often attribute my career success to two pivotal elements in my childhood; Video Games, and Neopets. I pursued an education in strategic and visual communication. I traded my Photobucket account for an Adobe License and elevated my love of the “Zelda” storylines into a love of the stories of other people. 

Now my passion lies in bringing those stories to life. Showing the world the value your brand can provide it through cohesive, strategic and beautiful design and strategy. Your journey has taken you far and wide on the search to bring your brand and vision to life. You’ve stepped through many portals and past even more along the way.

 
 

Now, let me take you through mine, and let’s create something powerful.
