Real Talk

Lets get real. Artists, Photographers and Graphic Designers on Maui are basically a dime a dozen. Thankfully by trade I only fall into one of those categories. Although I wouldn't consider myself the best, I do believe I have 3 strengths that are solid reasons to hire me for your next job. 

1) Quick and Efficient - If you ever sit side by side with me on a project you will notice my workflow is extremely smooth and fast, my range of creativity is broad and my communication concise. Ditto that and add turbo for any Photoshop work.

2) I K.I.S.S. - Whether its Posters, Ads, Invitations, Business Cards, even Logos, I aim for simplicity. Leave me to my own design world and observe my natural inclination to push the envelope and then quickly return to what I thought looked perfect 5 minutes and 20 revisions earlier. I believe everything in the world should Keep It Simple (Stupid), but some of my clients beg to differ. Alas, I always do my best to please my customer, which brings me to my last point...

3) Customer Satisfaction - If you ain't happy, I ain't happy. I will always do my best to meet and exceed my client's expectations. To be fair I make sure YOU know what I will give you for HOW MUCH before I proceed with a job. I do need to make a living after all...

Whether my hyperactive candor impresses you or shocks you give me a call - we can talk like normal people and go from there. Comments/Questions? See that empty box down ↓ there?

"start today"

Those words have been etched into every single one of my notebooks, calendars, scratch pads and corner of my brain. I've committed myself to this great cause to not put things off that are difficult but rather to "start today".

It's a call to action and a challenge that I've made to myself since I first started contemplating working for myself again. It means making that embarrassing phone call to friends, family and contacts I've met along the way and just letting them know, "just to let you know, I'm doing graphics again... any kind, all kind, tell a friend, here's my number and my email, and oh, did you get my number?"

I've learned a lot since the last time I tried this sole-proprietor business, and I've made my mind up on the importance of investing time into things like my website, cold calling,  social networking and oh yeah, designing new things. As a matter of fact for the last couple of weeks designing new things has been at the bottom of the to-do-list. My loving wife reminded me of this very important task just this morning... er, well it's just past midnight on Friday morning now, so yesterday (thursday) morning. I guess that means I can still live up to that commitment. After I get some rest, I'll start today.
