Marketing Strategy Since 1998, I have been providing creative digital and print services. With
degrees in Advertising, English and a Master's in Creative Marketing, I have
fused my education with my background in photography, drawing, writing &
drafting to forge forward to a career in creative services. With this unique
combination of tools, I have taught classes at the University of Florida as
well as University College Falmouth in England, received several awards
for design, been published in peer-reviewed industry publications, published
my own book, and have completed over 15,500 projects to date for over
400 clients. My skill sets encompass a wide range of marketing and design
services offering you an entire virtual marketing department to help your
company startup, grow, or elevate its success.
Some of my larger clients include Verizon, Johnson & Johnson, and Texas
Instruments, although I do tailor to smaller clients as well. All of my clients are
off of referrals, reputation and quality. In fact, I am so dedicated to my clients, I
have never launched my own website.
Just because we are donation a portion of our profits, doesn't mean we can't
save you money. In fact, 99% of the time we can give you lower rates than you
are currently being processed at. We're also backed by one of the processing
juggernauts, Capital Bankcard, to guarantee your business is in the best
hands in the industry.
