Web Design

Sometimes the actual design of the website gets lost in the details. Is it responsive, content, and hosting options leave the design in the dust. Design needs to speak to your unique audience, and really, isn't that what it's all about?

Branding

Often when a small business decides to update their website, they also realize that the entire brand needs updating. We'll take an honest look at your current brand and evaluate whether or not it's still working for your business.

Wordpress

WordPress is the best Content Management System (CMS) for your website! It's easy to use, supported by a worldwide community, and it's cost-effective for what you are able to achieve with a data-based website.

Training/Tutoring

After teaching Web and Graphic Design at College of Visual Arts, Augsburg College, and General Assembly, I offer tutoring or training in web design, CSS, HTML, Illustrator and Photoshop.

NOTE: Work in the portfolio below highlights only some of my freelance work as an independent designer, and none of the agency or in-house design work that I have done. My agency work includes clients such as Northwest Airlines, ADP, Tileshop and Varig Airlines. In addition, I have also worked as an in-house designer, developing all web and print collateral for a tech start-up, and a small software company. A portfolio of this work is available upon request.

Hello!

I'm an experienced web and graphic designer with a focus in UI (making it appealing and functional), logos and identity. Though I have done extensive work for large corporations like NWA, Varig Airlines and ADP, now I primarily work with smaller companies, either start-ups or small businesses. My services includes web design, UI, HTML emails, web maintainence, front-end development, wordpress, feature graphics and banners, tradeshow graphics, magazine ads, brochures and logos. I'm fluent in HTML, CSS, responsive design, and the latest Adobe Creative Suite applications.
