Hi, I’m Zach,

Thank you for visiting my website. I’m a visual communication designer with a diverse portfolio that demonstrates strength in client relationships, design intent and execution. With core roots in branding, typography, color, layout and conceptual thinking I excel at creating designs for both print media and digital platforms.

I enjoy collaborating with creative directors, marketing teams and account managers to define and implement visual solutions for clients. I dedicate myself to the mastery of relevant design tools, platforms, and software, such as the Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, After Effects) and HTML/CSS. I have the ability to work on multiple projects and tasks simultaneously, responding quickly to feedback and maintaining a high level attention to detail.

I have excellent oral and written communication skills which help me facilitate and participate in cohesive team efforts including research, presentation, planning and evaluation. I can wear many design “hats” and do whatever it takes to get the job done at an exceptional level from meeting with clients to define their goals, sketching concepts, iterating visual solutions and all the way to preparing final assets.

Through my design experience I have also demonstrated the ability and dedication to continually grow my skill sets and design sensibilities while constantly refining my organizational and time-management skills. I love working with passionate people, value honest feedback and thrive in ambitious teams.
