what i do.

I create more than websites, logos, art, and print media. I pave roads composed of coding and links entangled on a clean canvas of eventualities. The same road small business owner’s hope will keep their head afloat in this dismal affair. Or the comforting pavement chased by the promising journalist lusting for their own blog to call home.

I can design a postcard that can keep you in touch with even yourself, or construct a logo that appears to have been concocted with your very own DNA. But that really doesn’t cut it for me. See, it’s not about creating a website, or landing a lucrative corporate contract. It’s about making that postcard just right for the mom and pop shop down the road. It’s about giving you an image, and solidifying that image in whatever world your mind resides.

I make clean, accessible websites that are easy to use and easy on the eyes. I design print media that will take you, your company and your vision above whatever it was you expected. I will market your idea and help you legitimize your image.

My clients range from individual entrepreneurs to small and large businesses in need of a web presence, or a complete image overhaul. Whether it is a static five-page XHTML/CSS website, or a high-end database driven flash website, a new set of business cards, or a 300-page catalog, I will present you with a finished product fashioned in a whirlwind of wonder.

Quite frankly, I’m pretty OCD about my websites. I just don’t gel with mediocrity, and I’m no kin of the mundane. So sometimes I’ll start with one design, color combination, or layout and completely scrap it. I just want my clients to see themselves in their site. So much so, that I sometimes catch myself crossing my fingers in hopes that when they click “Home”, that’s exactly where they’ll be. I’ve done a lot of site for free for my friends (too many according to my bank account, but I beg to differ), believe me, it REALLY isn’t about the money with me. So yeah go ahead and take advantage of my “just to get the bills paid” prices.

My passion stems from my helpful nature, and nauseating desire to please whomever beckons. I make sure my clients get what they pay for, and then some. I plan on doing my best to change the world somehow (yeah, I’ve got a Gandhi complex like that). But most likely, I’ll just end up being the cause of a few cracked smiles. And that’s just fine with me.
