Designers aren’t hard to find, so what’s so special about this B.Hayes guy? Well, I understand how to ask the right questions, how to plan ahead to make a deadline, how to design for the right audience. Basically, I understand how to get it done right the first time, and make it look better than you had hoped. My goal is to always push the design and find the perfect balance of design and strategy.

ABOUT ME

It’s hard to give a complete picture of who I am and what my work is like, so I should elaborate a little on the three word summary. These three words are a good start.
CREATIVE

I know it’s cliche, but creativity is what breaths life into your designs, without it you just get mush. True creativity comes in different sizes and shapes, and mine has been looking for a chance to GO BIG. I pride myself on having a wide range of creative styles to design with, and it's crucial to know when to use which style. Of course, I'm always looking to learn and design with a new and effective look.

EFFICIENT

I pride myself on getting work done quickly and effectively. I understand urgent deadlines and I am quite familiar with them. Of course I’d love some time to marinate an idea and make it perfect but when is that luxury ever a reality? I'm always looking for a way to improve the process, and make the project run just a little smoother.

ORIGINAL

Feeding off other designers is always a good way to learn new tricks and push yourself to be better, but copying a design that someone else did is one of my biggest no-no’s. Of course I will use elements I’ve seen and combine them with my ideas. That’s what keeps my designs original, challenging myself to keep it fresh.
