Creative Handyman

I help small and medium size businesses present and promote their company in the best possible light - with one eye on growth, and another on their brand.

NOT JUST A PAINT JOB
A lot of creative and branding firms push website re-designs - design is their strong suit. I start with your content and goals, and get those aligned FIRST.

CONNECT YOUR BRAND
Find out where your customers have the highest chance of seeing you - and increase your site's visibility. We'll create a unified marketing platform for your brand.

RE-ALIGN THE MESSAGE
We don't need to re-invent your message. We do need to find the best aspects, and high light them - CONTINUOUSLY. Re-align the message to the brand.



Why Creative Handyman?

A handyman is someone who fixes and improves existing items. I do that with your creative, web marketing and branding. I take the value you have already put in, align and strengthen it, giving you greater value in the outcome.

Whether you need to shape up your brand, align it, or create other channels to deliver it, I can help you with easy low cost solutions. Your marketing really should be focused around your website - and your website should be focused on building relationships. That is done through tone, design, and simple easy to make updates. Websites work when you can update them. It’s hard to be consistent and establish relationships when you are having to flag down your web designer just to add a new bit of company info - or post a success story.

No one knows your successes if you don’t share them. In today’s economy, flashy advertising isn’t going to help you succeed. Showing how well your other customers enjoy your services, is priceless.

What makes me different?

  1. I am not just a designer, nor am I just a developer. I have a marketing & branding background, I’m an avid photographer, I’ve created my fair share of flash movies and I have been a small business owner. I’ll put the right solution into action with a strategy that will make your brand stronger, and attract more business.
  2. Experience in implementation. My strongest skill is being able to put together various pieces of a brand into a unified whole. Whether installing Flash ad-ons, Wordpress plugins, or some fancy Javascripts, I have worked on enough projects to know how to get the job done.
  3. Substance over style. I’m not interested in providing marketing solutions that are going to win design awards for me. I’m interested in providing solutions that will gain you more business - and more importantly, STRENGTHEN the business ties you already have.


I am a self taught creative. I’ve taught myself everything from photography to print design, web design and flash to CMS development. I have been successful because I find what a project needs to be a success, and implement that solution.

I managed the online and direct mail marketing for Choose-Your-Gift for 3 years, helped design, plan and develop their online services. I also was a small business owner in the fashion industry - that makes me a lot different than other designers. I have written paychecks, I have had to create my own leads - I know how valuable your resources are. All these experiences have taught me that small businesses need to be quick and frugal if they want to compete in today’s marketplace. Where some creative and branding firms strive to “transform the way you look at design” or other lofty aspirations - I simply focus on putting in place the solution that will grow your business.
