In Brief: A Roadmap to Remarkable Results

Rick-Whelan-Ditto-Design-by-Franco-Vogt

Howdy!

I’m Rick, a seasoned brand strategist and identity designer practicing in Pittsburgh, the City of Bridges.

For more than 40 years, I’ve been creating remarkable brand solutions for companies, nonprofits and feisty solopreneurs worldwide.

I want people to understand why a brand is essential to their success, share a few personal experiences, and explore what goes into a good (or bad) design.
