2. The creative process begins with carefully listening to the
client’s needs and objectives. Using a phased creative approach that
keeps everyone connected, eliminates misinterpretation and provides
a coherent path toward the desired objective.
3. Success checklist:
• Know who the client is (Do your homework)
• Understand the goals (Pay attention)
• Listen first… Create second (Logical progression)
• Phased progress with follow-up (See and say)
• Reliable timelines (Do what you say you will do)
• Periodic assessments (Staying in sync)
Finally, establishing mutual respect through honesty and providing
a track record of consistent quality design solutions. (Trust)

5. Recommendations
“I worked with Dante for many years, and he always produced highly
creative, on-target designs for clients such as Honda of America and
many others. He was one of my most trusted allies in keeping clients
happy, no matter how challenging the deadline or complex the project.”
Paul Vetter Vice President, Fahlgren Mortine Public Relations
“Dante is that rare artist who can translate your ideas into reality. One
of Dante's strengths is the rare ability to listen. He can translate ones
ideas so expertly that when he shows his work, you know its exactly
what you had in mind! We worked together over several years and it
was not only a pleasure but fun and rewarding. No matter how large or
small the job, Dante will give 100 plus percent.
Cynthia Cooper Supplier Diversity Expert
“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Dante on Franklin Park
Conservatory's Chapungu: Stories in Stone exhibition a few years ago.
He's a true professional. He is talented and understands how to turn
individual pieces into a successful, cohesive campaign. His wisdom
has made me a better marketer.”
