Hi, I’m Joe. I’m a visual designer with a practical, tech-savvy mindset, comfortable bridging creative work with systems and processes. My background spans graphic design, branding, and print/packaging, and I’ve also led technology operations as Chief Technology Officer for the Lake County Clerk of Courts. I value clean, effective visuals and reliable workflows that help organizations look their best and work smoothly. When I’m not working with clients, I freelance to craft brochures, logos, and brand assets, collaborating with vendors and teams to deliver polished results on time. I enjoy turning ideas into clear visuals and building efficient processes that support great design outcomes.
