My Philosopy of Service as a Designer:
I have many years of experience designing graphics for discriminating clients. Even so, I put your ideas and desires first. I am here to advise you with the experience and skills that I have, but you will always be given final authority, and responsibility, for your designs. If I feel you are making an erroneous choice I will communicate that to you but will do as you direct.
