Awards

I don't apply for many awards; I think that it's more important that my work focus on bringing customers to my clients than it is to win industry awards. But, I've brought home a couple:



2005 American Graphic Design Awards: The winning entries were for Maryanne Comaroto's logo deisgn and Menlo Furniture Design's website design.



American Design Awards 3rd Annual Design Contest Second place in the American Design Awards 3rd Annual Design Contest, in the packaging category.
