My passion is visual communications, despite one of my strongest skills being a technical writer. My direct personal experience as both a Sales and Application Engineer and as a Product Marketing Manager, plus 18+ years experience in an agency setting, interpreting client goals and objectives, strategizing creative direction, and implementing complete copywriting, design, and production, is interwoven in any project or task I execute, which benefits my clients directly.

I use my expertise to create effective sales, marketing, advertising, and training materials and documentation in all media, and a wide variety of industries. I enjoy becoming an extension of my clients' staff and building a long-term relationship and in-depth knowledge of their products. So an hour after they call and say "Hey, Bill, can you do such--and-such...", the project is done!

I have extensive experience in production tools and disciplines, including Microsoft Office, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, DreamWeaver, Flash, and ActionScript, XHTML and CSS. I also have additional experience with After Effects; Apple Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, and Motion; AutoDesk Maya; 2D/3D animation, and motion graphics; DOM-scripting and JavaScript; audio recording and editing; videography, editing, special effects and production; product photography. My clients have always been pleased with the work I do (some have been with me for 10 years); that is the real test.

Being allowed to take your vision for your product and company, distilling it, and bringing it to life is a gift, and something I enjoy immeasurably. And if the project is time-based (i.e. video or animation), that's just icing on the cake! You will find that I am efficient, with an eye for detail, and can be counted on to get your project done, correctly and on time, every time. In 18 years, I have NEVER missed a deadline, despite the odds, or an insane schedule!
