[ TL;DR STRATEGY, DESIGN, & MESSAGING FOR MEANINGFUL BRANDS ]BEHIND MADCAP:
If you ask me where my love for branding and storytelling comes from, I'd say it's in the spaces between curiosity and creativity. Madcap Creative isn't just about delivering polished visuals or strategic brand solutions—it’s about diving deep into the nuances of what makes a story resonate. And for me, that journey started long before I ever called this work “branding.”
As a kid, I was always fascinated by how things worked—why certain images or words seemed to connect with people on a level that went beyond just understanding. What moved people one way or another. It wasn’t just about the art on the walls or the words in a book, it was about the feeling they evoked. I was drawn to those small moments when you realized something truly connected with you. (Gosh, I even remember cackling at the copy on a kids shampoo bottle nearly three decades ago)
Fast forward to now, and that same curiosity drives everything I do with Madcap. I’ve always believed that design is never just about making things look good—it’s about finding what lies underneath. Every brand, every project, every story has a soul. It’s my job to uncover it and bring it to life in a way that’s true and meaningful.
I love being in the thick of it—whether it's listening to a client talk about their vision or sketching out the initial concept for a logo. For me, the creative process is about exploration. No matter how much research and planning goes in (and trust me, there’s plenty), it’s the unknowns—the surprises that surface along the way—that really excite me. It’s in those moments when I realize that something unexpected can become the core of a brand’s identity.
