“Run, don’t walk to work with Dale! I handed over a 200+ Word doc manual for copy editing and some light design, and Dale turned it into an absolute masterpiece for my business. The attention to detail and the polished final product exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for someone who can transform your documents into something truly professional and visually appealing, Dale is the one! Highly recommend!”

My corporate customers consider me an outside extension of their internal departments; more than just a hired hand. I aspire to form lasting relationships through consistenly good design work and responsive service. I’ll collaborate one-on-one with you to ensure that you’re 100% completely satisfied with the final product.
To determine a fee that’s fair for both customer and designer, I take into consideration the scope of a given project, the customer’s budget, the customer’s timing, and my general workload at a given time. I can quote an hourly rate, a flat project rate, or even a monthly retainer for larger-scope projects.
Choosing to hire an independent designer over a design agency is usually a matter of budget and flexibility. Although agencies offer many benefits, they’re certainly pricier. If your budget is a freelance budget, the value in hiring me is clear – I offer design agency talent at a more desirable price, period.
Through 21 years as an independent, I’ve created thousands of designs. I always present more than one option for a given project, but only one option can be approved, so much of my work never sees the light of day. The projects that I showcase in this portfolio are a small sampling of my capabilities, some client approved and some simply my favorites. As a true Independent Creative Professional, all the samples below were designed and written exclusively by me, and presented directly to the respective client without the opinions of outside influencers. This allows me to work one-on-one with each client to determine their specific needs and produce an end result that is always very well received.
