About
What I bring to your banquet: 25 years of marketing experience - both online and in print I specialize in design that swims in color, movement and takes advantage of every opportunity for eye candy.
Digital art and graphic design: all the big style concepts as well as the little pieces of original art for your projects: from logos to UI elements. I'm a decent photographer with years of Photoshop production skills under my belt, so I can curate a massive gallery or perform some digital restoration when things have gone horribly wrong.
Your print work: yes, i've been doing that for a long time - ads, brochures, posters, direct mail. And I can talk to whoever does your printing as well. I handle both the everyday tasks as well as the small details: I am my own production monkey.
Your online workload: I'm a front-end designer, which means I can design your sites, come up with its architecture, mark-up all the CSS and build it with HTML5. What I am not is a programmer. I can find and utilize the best in jQuery and Javascript, but I won't write it. I am familiar with the basics of ecommerce software, know how to code a responsive html email and customize a Wordpress site for your client to takeover. I believe all websites should look good on desktop, tablet and mobile, whether the client does or not. I also believe content is the single most important part of any project.
Want some multimedia with that? I can create a flash-animated banner, edit your video footage and even provide some motion graphics.
I'm fully experienced in the complete Adobe CS6 production suite, OSX/Windows-agnostic.
All that experience, but no management skills? That's because I do the work and let others sit in meetings talking about it. I have a long career working with small business where I need to wear a lot of hats and provide a holistic approach to marketing and design. I can be a great asset to your team, lend myself out as a walking graphic-o-pedia, and maintain project coordination to make certain all benchmarks are met with style and grace -
