Bio
Manon Herzog
Rich is a highly accomplished design strategist with the sensibility of an artist. He brings a keen sense of systems thinking to any project, always pushing beyond the current situation, ensuring his strategic solutions take into consideration longer-term client needs and growth. At the same time, Rich’s approach to design is infused by his artistic abilities to interpret a brand in unique ways. A consistent hallmark of his work: it feels fresh but never trendy. My collaborations with Rich have always produced surprising, smart and beautiful results, and I look forward to working together again.

I collaborated with Rich for nearly a decade on all our marketing/promotional design pieces at Shakespeare Festival St. Louis. Rich is thoughtful, creative, and collaborative. I lead theatre companies, so I was delighted when Rich read all the plays, researched their history, and brought introspection to the process. He gave his new insights and surprised us on many occasions. He's positive, fun, and easy to work with. Recently, a collection of Shakespeare posters from around the world was compiled, and nearly everyone of Rich's designs was selected to be included alongside some of the best poster designers in the world! I highly recommend his work.
