SUCCESS IN TODAY'S MARKET

Since 1995 I have engaged in the business of design, engineering and collateral production.

After 13 years my consulting business "PDR" is today still going strong despite the ups and downs of market conditions.  I have worked with companies large and small, from the huge production organizations at Organic and Barnes and Noble.com, to the most chaotic startups.

Versatility, innovation, and a technical design know-how are my hallmarks. That's why dozens of businesses large and small have trusted their mission critical design and engineering to PDR. If one were to tally up the number of people viewing pages I have either designed, engineered, or produced, the figure would exceed 25 million a day.
