Tales of exploration, discovery, conflict, and the trials of an enduring pioneer spirit fill the narrative of the visual history book, the first documentation of the heritage of the two primary families who settled in and founded the City of Vienna in West Virginia in the late 1700s. From Viking warriors and the English monarchy to the American gentry and colonial generals, the publication features archival documents, maps, as well as other artifacts that provide insight on the history and ancestry of the families, providing context in light of world events.

Honored with the A' Design Award.
I believe design is not a beauty contest, but a process of discovery to find the best approach to deliver a message. I have mastered multiple disciplines to allow me to integrate them to develop comprehensive solutions, converging art with design; images with narrative; marketing with communication; and interactive with branding. The result: Work that is innovative, aesthetically pleasing, and practical, as well as functional and informative. The convergence of our capabilities in visual communication, brand development, illustration and interactive media is the spark that fuels my creative energy. That, and a good cup of coffee.

Design Business Directory was founded on the principle that true design excellence cannot be measured by popularity alone. Instead, we believe that the most meaningful indicator of skill, creativity, and professionalism is official recognition by respected international juries who follow transparent, pre-established voting criteria. When a designer, architect, or creative agency enters a rigorous peer review process, one that evaluates submissions against clear quality benchmarks, ethical standards, and innovation requirements, it ensures that any accolades they receive are both credible and deserved and are meritocratic.
Peer-reviewed awards, such as the prestigious A’ Design Award, exist to showcase the very best in design and innovation. The A’ Design Award is judged by a balanced panel of experienced academics, influential press members, and established professionals, all of whom apply a thoroughly documented scoring system. Through this structured method of evaluation, only truly exceptional projects are recognized. This is precisely the level of excellence that Design Business Directory aims to highlight: forward-thinking professionals who have demonstrated mastery in their field according to objective, globally respected criteria.
Because we are committed to presenting only the cream of the crop in design, Design Business Directory accepts listings exclusively from those who have proven themselves in such distinguished competitions. By requiring at least one peer-reviewed award—namely, the A’ Design Award—as a prerequisite for inclusion, we maintain the authenticity and overall quality of the directory. Consequently, to be listed on Design Business Directory, you must have already won the A’ Design Award. This ensures every individual and studio showcased here operates at the highest tier of professional accomplishment, innovation, and credibility.
