Not hung up on being an "artiste," John is the perfect art guy for business. A talented artist, he has a business consultant's grasp of "the big picture," which drives him to create marketing pieces and logos that project the right image to the target audience.

As Art Director, John oversees the art department, ensuring that all work is completed to a client's satisfaction and on deadline.

John graduated from Northwest Technical College of Moorhead. He held several jobs in business in his home town of Fergus Falls, Minnesota, before coming to work as a graphic artist for Advertising Marketing in 1987. Never straying far from art when he worked in Fergus Falls, John did freelance graphics work for Fargo-area businesses, including the Greater North Dakota Association, and the state chamber of commerce.

John sees every project as the marriage of information and design. He designs by considering how to creatively show the most important information, whether in a print ad, a direct marketing piece, or a corporate brochure. The result is graphic design that specifically and personally suits each client's image and marketing goals.

John's business philosophy is simple - produce great work for clients that gets results and they'll keep coming back.
