About.

Hi, I'm Joe and I'm a designer.

A mechanical engineer turned graphic designer (with a minor in mathematics to boot), I have an unusual career story with an equally unusual level of passion to match. A creative designer in the greater Baltimore area, I'm enthusiastic about helping brands see their full potential through creative and strategic solutions. I'm passionate about brand & identity development, print design and sports design, but am always up for new creative challenges that expand my experience, skill set and creative perspective.

I love photos shot at f/2.8, music & guitars, coffee, sports (especially rugby) and my lovely wife and daughter.
