Todd: Burnsville tutor

Certified Tutor

Hello, nice to meet you! I am a seasoned, passionate, nationally recognized Graphic Designer and Marketer with over 40 years of experience working with and within large ad agencies, regional & global corporations, and with brands that most people know and trust. Not only have I been an active design practitioner, but also a mentor and creative leader, as well as an agency owner for almost 2 decades. Also, while working during the days, I spent 8 years as an Adjunct University Professor of Graphic Design and Production, sharing my knowledge and experiences and teaching advanced design classes in order to prepare students not only to be thoughtful, creative designers, but to leave the academic world with knowledge, experience, and a unique perspective that sets them apart, and that normally can only be gained through years of experience.

I hold a BA in Graphic Design and Advertising from The American University in Washington, DC with expertise in graphic design, typography, branding, identity & graphic standards, advertising campaigns, visual communication, print production, creative business strategy, presentation design, promotional writing, product positioning, direct marketing and customer experiences.

I would greatly enjoy working with any students (or newly established professionals) no matter the level of your design talents or experience. We can work together on a one-on-one basis or as groups of any size. I can help you better understand the thought process of how designers create and think in order to fulfill a client's needs and allow their designs to be both effective and memorable. We can also work on more specific aspects like typography, color palettes, layout and composition, photography, or any part of this awesome industry.

Please feel free to contact me to answer questions or for any further information. And, as additional reference, a comprehensive portfolio can be viewed at: www.coroflot.com/toddlewis.

I look forward to working with you!
