“The work that [Max] and his team put into the original Naval Air Federal Credit Union [Chartway] website was groundbreaking. Thanks to he and his team we were the first credit union on the Internet and helped set the standard for our online banking services today.”
~ Mark Richards, as Marketing Director of Chartway Federal Credit Union.
For any business, Marketing is the research, construction and execution of an ongoing plan with the goal of making potential customers fall in love with it and everything it has to offer. Great Graphic Design creates the image that customers fall in love with — and does its best to keep the romance alive. Sales is the process of turning that love into earnings.

We live in an over-served world driven by unrealistic expectations, and the toughest challenge in this environment is to set yourself apart... which is the purpose of branding. By building strong brands with real value, you build strong bottom lines.

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.

Thanks to the power of non-linear video editors and commercial production software becoming affordable to even us starving artists, bringing Graphic Design to Life is only limited by one's imagination and willingness to learn and explore the possibilities.
My experience with Web Design goes back to 1994, a time where there were no Search Engines as we know them today, Microsoft wanted no part of the Internet game and eCommerce wasn't a term. Many of those groundbreaking websites I helped to design have long since been redesigned many times over. I still take on web integration projects but my focus is primarily in print and multimedia.
One of the fringe benefits of being a Graphic Designer is having the ability to say farewell to friends and loved ones and honor them in a special way. These Memorial Portraits were created as posters and program covers for homegoing services. Paisley Park is dedicated to their loving memories.
Aside from the fact that I've spent over half my life working with computers, I still have the soul of an Artist. Even today I still occasionally scribble in my sketchbook and dabble in creative ideas that fall under "Fine Art". Some of these pieces aren't too bad for being over 15 years out of the habit of drawing regularly. Sooner or later I'll scan in more graphite, charcoal, and acrylic pieces.
Between my family and friends, my clients, and myself, my time is very precious. To reduce the number of casual cold calls and unwanted solicitors, there are no office phone or fax numbers posted on this website.
