a little bit about me

Hello, I’m Kyle, a freelance graphic and web designer based in southwest Missouri. A twenty-year design industry veteran with a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Communications, I specialize in formulating unique, eye-catching artwork to build brand identities and promotional material for small businesses as well as advertising campaigns for multi-million dollar organizations within the United States. I am happily married with one child and three dogs. In my spare time, I enjoy watching my son play baseball, the Kansas City Royals, our two Great Danes, and taking my Jeep on roads less traveled.

My
Design process

Each project is different, but the process is pretty much the same each time. Here is how I tackle each new project.

01.

BRIEFING & RESEARCH

Gather all the necessary information from your client regarding their needs, objectives, and expectations. This is also the stage to research the client's brand, industry trends, competitors, and target audience.

REVIEW & REVISION

Present your design to the client, explaining your choices and how they align with their objectives. Take their feedback and revise your design accordingly. This process might be repeated until the client is fully satisfied.
