about / 01

A designer who has actually run the press.

Patrick has spent two decades in production print — large format, signage, banners, posters, and business systems — leading teams, securing permits, and managing equipment that costs more than most houses.

His background is hybrid by necessity: design, fabrication, and installation share a desk. That means designs that print well, install square, and hold up in the rain.

"Designers who only design forget what the substrate does at noon. I learned the hard way, and the work is better for it."

Currently looking for part-time and contract work — design, prepress, retouching, production support — for clients who want a designer with shop-floor instincts.
