Nearly all my clients come to me via word of mouth. If my reputation precedes me, I’m doing something right. You’re likely here because you’ve heard about me from others or seen my work. And if you partner up with The Art Dept., here’s what you get:

agility

I’m transparent, communicative and downright adaptable to every situation. I can function both independently or collaboratively with my network of artists—depending on your needs. This structure allows a versatile fit for every job and without extra filler, flab or corporate hierarchy.

value

Office? The only bricks and mortar you’ll find is my living room fireplace. I’m small, resourceful, and strive for sustainability where I can (nearly paperless!) In other words, I have virtually no overhead and can extend those savings along to you without compromising quality.

quality

My “signature” is on everything I create. Your project isn’t just a means to a monetary end. Rather, I treat every job as an original work of art—stamped with my soul and sweat (figuratively of course!)

service

Make yourself at home with. I treat clients like friends. I cozy up to your vision. I get to know your brand. Yet through it all, I maintain a level of personable service and professionalism.

“Bravo! The piece is awesome! It’s righteous! It’s beautiful! We are all blown away at your skills.

Thank you. The quality of your article is a towering highlight in our young journey.”
ADAM MARIANI, PARTNER, SCRIBE WINERY

“Thank you. For the many amazing things you both bring to the story of Sonoma: the “flair” you bring to our signs, feature stories, brochures, Web sites, your participation and interpretation of local events. But most of all, I am thankful for your thoughtful contributions. It’s people just like you that make our community exceptional!”
JENNIFER YANKOVICH, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, SONOMA VALLEY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
