My career has been built on one simple passion - bringing ideas to life.
I’ve collaborated with business partners and clients who often have an idea, but not the tools to transform those ideas into strategic, compelling visual stories. Through experience and creative thinking I’ve helped visualize dozens of such stories. Along the way, I’ve learned the priceless value of humility, good listening, and seeing the genius in others.

“I had the pleasure of working with Jeff during my time at Cree, and I was always incredibly impressed with his work. As an example, I had the opportunity for three years to attend Lightfair, the largest annual North American lighting tradeshow. Every year Jeff developed the graphic system and collateral for our exhibit, and we stood out in a way that no other companies could compete with - not even GE! I can’t emphasize how eye-catching and forward-thinking his designs were. They made us feel both professional and cool, which I think is difficult for a B2B LED lighting company to achieve.”
— Ginny Hamilton, Community Manager, EnterprisersProject.com at Red Hat
“When I conceived of the Design District Raleigh map, I could never have imagined the creativeness of the logo, graphics and layout that Jeff delivered. It has been a pleasure working with him on four editions of the map and I know that the success of the map has been largely due to the user-friendly layout and fun graphics that Jeff designed. I highly recommend Jeff for any graphic design work- he listens and he delivers.”
— Carole Marcotte, Owner of Form & Function Interior Design and Home Furnishings
“Top notch creatives can be prickly prima donnas, but not Jeff. Every time we worked together someone on my team would remark after the meeting "Jeff is a good guy." Why? Well, I believe it's because he values the success of the project over personal accolades. Jeff brings the aforementioned "top-notch creativity" without any of the baggage, he's a skilled Designer and Art Director who consistently produces excellent work on a tight budget under a tighter deadline. He is fluent in all the Adobe applications and has designed and built tons of websites. But, Jeff goes beyond being a good creative since his thinking is always grounded in the marketing behind the design. His work always addresses the target, the message and the CTA—all under the umbrella of the corporate positioning and guidelines. He's a team player, a mentor to less experienced designers, very hard working, funny and a good guy to have on your team.”
— Geoff Dunkak, VP of Creative Services, BtB Marketing Communications
