EXPERIENTIAL GRAPHICS & SIGNAGE (RETAIL & TRADE-SHOW)
A Storied Career in Sports, Tradeshow, and Event Design
With a distinguished career spanning over several years, I have honed my expertise in designing environmental graphics that captivate and engage. My journey began with iconic projects such as designing for the Super Bowl and various outdoor NHL hockey games, where I first developed my knack for creating immersive and visually compelling environments.
Over the years, I have collaborated with numerous design agencies across the Bay Area and beyond, working with renowned clients including Google, Facebook, Cisco, and Salesforce. These experiences have enriched my understanding of diverse design needs and elevated my skills in crafting graphics that resonate with audiences.
My role has encompassed every aspect of the design process—from conducting site surveys and setting up client-facing presentations to producing final print files. This hands-on involvement ensures that every project is executed with precision and aligns perfectly with the client’s vision.

"Just wanted to say thanks again for all of your/your teams efforts this event season. I realize that it was far from "business as usual" this year and truly appreciate the mental/physical focus that Moss showed throughout. The successful results are a major accomplishment, one that we should all take pride in. Please extend the sentiment to the larger team. Only problem is.... I think we set that bar even a little higher....ha."

I was responsible for designing the "look" for each of these high-visibilty projects. I was also responsible for determining scope, design and creating final production art. I managed a group of freelance designers, created production art, determined substrates, worked with clients and vendors alike not to mention site visits and installation coordination. Many of the projects needed site visits and installation supervision. All graphics I designed seen in these photos were while employed by Flying Colors (Moss Sports).
