About KAIN Creative

What can I do for you? Well, it kind of depends on who you are.

For start-ups, I can help you create a brand and a look and feel for your company. I have a strong understanding of the creative process for print and online, and can help you with most of your immediate needs. And if I can’t do it, I can help find the right person for the job.  

For mid-sized and established business’s, I can help you take a new look at your brand or work on a specific communication initiative. Often times, a company may feel their brand is out of date and is just ready for a refresh.

For bigger companies, I usually work on a specific communication initiative. This has ranged from working on website redesigns, creating sub-brands, and concepting advertising and digital marketing ideas.

Whoever you are, I’d be happy to discuss how I could help you.

ABOUT ME

During my career, I built a reputation for delivering highly effective marketing programs for some of the worlds most coveted brands, including Levi’s, Dockers, Williams-Sonoma, Target, Easton-Bell Sports, Reef and Apple. I focus on the overall brand experience specializing in e-commerce and digital marketing campaigns. 

As a Creative Director at CKS/marchFIRST, I helped Williams-Sonoma, Dockers and Timberland launch their first e-commerce sites and helped JCPenney completely redesign theirs. In 2001, I co-founded Silverlign Group with Randy Basso. Silverlign successfully combined deep strategic disciplines with world-class creative. Eventually, Silverlign was acquired by GSI Commerce and again by eBay.

As Executive Creative Director at Silverlign, I set the vision and tone for the creative team. I directed several very successful integrated and online programs for Target, Tempur-Pedic, Mattel, Expedia and more. I helped Silverlign build solid client relationships, shown by the fact that we worked with Levi Strauss & Co for a consecutive 15 years. Ultimately I became the Managing Director of the Silverlign office, leaving this position in 2013.

Since then, Randy and I have continued to work together with several clients. Some of which are Sonic, Reef and Tempur-Sealy (Tempur-Pedic's parent company). I have also worked independently for Naturewise, Vallarta Adventures, Alina Skincare and others.

My work has won several design awards and appeared in many industry design publications including the Clio's, One Show, ADDY's and Communication Arts. I have a deep love for family, photography, the outdoors and screen printing.
