At Your Service
I started in the industry back in 1999. I started off working for a few different full-service ad agencies, then moved on to some specialty web shops. In 2004, I took the plunge and started Elevate where we focus on helping companies go further faster through Brand Communication & User Experience Design.
I've always been passionate about Design. Even as a young kid, I would wake up with my Dad at 5am just to draw. My passion for drawing, art, design only increased throughout my formative years and into college as I discovered Design proper and the principles therein. That passion still wakes me at 5am today.
I believe Design has the power to change the world. Good design, especially design for good, has the power to transform history.
The mantra — Design on Purpose
