ABOUT KEVIN
Since 2007, Kevin has led and contributed to hundreds of projects as a strategic partner, illustrator, designer, art director, and creative consultant. He's worked with local and international clients, from ambitious solopreneurs to multinational brands. He currently lives and
works in North Park, San Diego.
In all these capacities and projects, the driving force is always the same: understand the client and their goals, establish project parameters, and attack potential roadblocks to clear the
runway for success.
"Measure twice, design once."

MY PROCESS
I ask a lot of questions.
I want the full picture of what's needed and if we're a good fit for each other. All the boring stuff comes first: budget, scope, medium, timeline, etc.
With these parameters in place, we'll get into the deeper questions:
- What are the problems we're trying to solve here?
- What are we trying to say, and who are we saying it to?
- How will the work be used, and where, and how often?
I want to tackle these aspects and dozens of others before they gum up the works and mutate into huge setbacks, costing
valuable time and resources to correct. If I've done my job here, a smooth path to the end product is all but inevitable: the single, well-aimed stroke that cracks
the problem in half!
