As a designer, the logo or brand mark represents the epicenter of whom a business is. It’s both challenging and (especially) rewarding to create and launch a new brand identity for businesses.

I want to do a little whistle blowing today. I just want to draw attention to the materialism that is crowding in all around us. I realize this will be a bit of a contradiction coming from an advertiser, but a little balance could do us all good. Last Friday was Black Friday, and today we are looking ahead to another weekend of deals, bargains and steals. I think retailers and advertisers

A while back I was interviewed by Päivi Remes as Finland was starting BNI (Business Networking International) in their country.

The opportunity of 3-peating in professional sports is not an easy task. For the record, here is the short list of teams that have pulled it off going back to 1936. Only 14 teams have accomplished this year to year dominance going back well over 70 years now.
