Philosophy:

Hi, I’m Max! I’m a multi-discipline designer with over 10 years of experience in the creative industry.

I possess a unique combination of design, branding, and illustration ability, technical print knowledge, and a deep understanding of photography. I can create your logo one day, create an icon system the next, and work closely with photographers and stylists after that to bring your brand to life! I can review your brand mission, comb through your site, and deliver actionable items that will improve your user experience and brand presentation.

I put the customer and end user at the center of everything I do. Understanding the “Why” leads me to the “How”. I approach every project from the ground up.

Have a project or idea you’d like to discuss? Send me a note, cheers!

Testimonials:

"In an often high-stress and ever-changing environment, Max is a welcome constant to depend on. He consistently exceeds expectations when needing a fresh perspective on branding and packaging. His candid feedback and easy approach make him a trusted liaison. And, for what it’s worth, he always shares his snacks."

-Britney Ratto, Product Development Director, Men's Traditional Brands, J. C. Penney


"We have worked with Max on a number of different projects, from an 85 page E-book to infographics and logo design, and every one has led to our success. He is a listener, a collaborator and team-mate, regardless of being in office or remote. Many designers get lost in their own work and timelines, but with Max he is focused on our deliverables and works around our shortcomings. Basically, he is a blast to work with and is an expert communicator!"

-Dan Candee, C.O.O. Connect First
