Rooted in Experience

Designing with Purpose, Craft and Innovation

With two decades of experience as a print designer, my journey began at design school in Denver, Colorado, where I honed my passion for blending timeless design principles with modern creativity. From founding bekkerschmidt designwerks in 2000 to its successful seven-year run, I’ve built a career shaped by curiosity and a drive to push creative boundaries.

With two decades of experience as a print designer, my journey began at design school in Denver, Colorado, where I honed my passion for blending timeless design principles with modern creativity. From founding bekkerschmidt designwerks in 2000 to its successful seven-year run, I’ve built a career shaped by curiosity and a drive to push creative boundaries.

Print and tactile design remain my greatest passion. Exploring the interplay of ink, paper, and texture—whether smooth, matte, or toothy—fuels my creative drive. From crafting custom approaches for everyday challenges to building brands that thrive across print, digital, and motion platforms, I aim to create work that resonates with its audience and fulfills its purpose beautifully.

Grounded in Tradition

Reviving Craft,
Embracing Intent

Every business has a story, and identity and brand design is how I help bring yours to life. Whether it’s creating a brand from scratch or fine-tuning an existing one, my goal is to design something that feels authentic and sets you apart. By blending creativity, strategy, and a deep understanding of your business, I craft visuals that make a meaningful impact.

In an industry increasingly defined by speed and convenience, the art of deliberate craftsmanship has become a rarity. Over two decades of navigating the print and digital worlds, I’ve seen a growing demand for quick turnarounds and cost-effective solutions. While efficiency has its place, it often comes at the expense of thoughtful design and meaningful outcomes.

I believe design should be more than just a race to the finish line. It should inspire connection, evoke emotion, and serve its purpose beautifully. By embracing craft-based approaches, I aim to foster a culture of thoughtful design—one that values quality, creativity, and authenticity over shortcuts.
