Doug's title is Speakeasy's Vice President of Visual Communication and Design Strategy. That means he insures that our communication and physical environment accurately reflect our corporate image and values. He also provides instruction, private coaching, and design and consulting services to Speakeasy's clients on presentation content and visual support issues, and heads all design efforts delivered through our Visual Communication Group. He brings to this multi-faceted role a background in graphic, advertising, architectural and interior design, and the processes he uses in working with Speakeasyés clients are derived from over twenty years of experience in developing communication through all of these mediums. To his colleagues Doug has another title: adventurer - curious about cultures and creatures, especially marine creatures. (Check out the skull of the 350-pound Loggerhead turtle in his office.) This curiosity feeds his creativity. You can depend on Doug for that unique solution, that combination of colors, textures, shapes and images that will make your concept "real."But Doug also knows that any visual communication must serve a clear message. So this adventurer doesn't set off to explore the visual possibilities until he's clear on what they need to accomplish. What's exciting is that he takes you along, whether in workshops or private sessions, teaching you how the process works. With Doug as your guide, you feel equipped for your own exploration. Doug received a Bachelor of Environmental Design and a Bachelor of Architecture from Auburn University. He heads our Content-Impact curriculum and has been working with Speakeasy on visual communication and content planning issues for over 23 years
