An RGD designation brings a lot more credibility to the design profession and it is a major influencer in how designers and design companies are chosen.

I am a designer because I’m an artist at heart. There are so many avenues of artistic expression under the title “Designer” and it’s exciting to be in a profession that gives you access to so many creative opportunities.

A major part of the creative process involves concept exploration and thumbnail development. Like those napkin ideas that happen during meetings, I think it’s important to engage with clients during the initial stages of a project. I find they are more appreciative of what’s involved.
