One of the crown jewels of my self-directed social entrepreneurship: HEATKILLS.us™, an educational website I created ten years ago, to help prevent dogs from suffering in hot cars.
Overview
Since 1990, I have consulted on, designed, and redesigned logos and brand names for a broad variety of organizations throughout North America and Southeast Asia.
My logos are distinguished by clean lines, boldness and simplicity. The key drivers of my design approach are my natural curiosity, and work in investigative journalism. Together, they help me to learn about, distill and visually articulate the client’s core message.
