Who I work with
I work with organizations that need to communicate complex ideas clearly, from financial firms and startups seeking to build investor confidence and raise capital, to public agencies and planning firms bringing policy and planning projects to the public. The visual materials I create will speak to your audience and help people see the big idea clearly. We are trusted by:
I do everything in-house to maintain efficiency and provide you with an exceptional product. If you’re looking for a freelance designer who’s strategic, thoughtful, and dedicated to results—let’s talk.
I always:
-
Work directly with clients—there are no middlemen.
-
Combine content strategy with visual communication design.
-
Deliver work that is unique, tailored for you and human made—I don't take AI shortcuts.
As a start up, our ability to fundraise very much depends on the quality of our pitchbook and investor materials. Drew has consistently delivered excellent work and met the fast pace demands of a start up fundraising process.
Drew's ability to take our ideas and translate them into strategic and thoughtful presentations (value add above format/graphics alone) blew our team away. Investors we meet with compliment the appearance of the deck, regardless of their thoughts on our business. That's a great confidence booster knowing we will nail the 1st impression.
As a founder, having a freelance partner who takes our company's success as seriously as we do is an invaluable force multiplier. Drew's work allows our management to focus on our strategy while trusting a professional to create what we would otherwise attempt."

Visual Communication for complex decisions
Verkstad helps public agencies, planning firms, and financial experts transform complexity into clarity. I combine design expertise with a background in urban planning to create visual materials that inform decisions, build understanding, and earn support — not just “look pretty.”
Engage Your Audience
People judge fast. Clear, thoughtful visuals help you capture attention and build trust quickly.
improve understanding
Research shows that humans process visual information 60,000 times faster than text. Balanced compositions help your stick the message.
gain support
When your idea is easy to grasp, it's easier to say yes! Great designs lead to funding, sales, and stakeholder buy-in.
Why Me?
Design that informs and compels action. I believe design should be more than window dressing. Every product should serve a purpose: clarify an idea, communicate value, and connect with your audience. Well-crafted design:
-
Increases engagement with your audience
-
Improves understanding of your message
-
Drives support for your idea, product, or proposal
