Hello.
This is a portfolio of my work in web and print design and web development. You can hire me to do any of these things for you. Email me at my first name [dot] my last name [at] gmail [dot] com, all lowercase.
Web Work
KERES SPICES (design only)
Keres spices was one of my right-brained projects, meaning I did the design, but not the programming. The guys at Keres Spices had a site set up using their web host's built in editor, and really needed something more professional and modern to market their high end spices. I went clean and bold with the design, using a dark background at their request and matching colors to their existing logo.
Web Work
MYTURF (design only)
The folks at MyTurf had an innovative new business model, but were using a 2K site design to market it. Their product is complicated and difficult to explain, so visually illustrating it was a conceptual challenge. By stripping the business model down to its most basic elements, I was able to create a brochure site that packed a lot of information into a clean, easy-to-navigate site design.
Web Work
FRANKLIN BARBECUE (design and development)
Aaron and Stacey were running a successful barbecue trailer in Austin, but didn't have any real web presence. They were (and still are!) getting lots of buzz, and really needed something more than a Facebook page to promote the business. Since they serve barbecue out of a vintage Airstream, I designed and built a site with a retro look that communicates both Austin and barbecue to visitors.
Web Work
BIJOU STUDIO TATTOO (design and development)
Megan was opening a tattoo shop in Austin and hired me to create a website for her business. Because the shop is housed in a historical building and artwork is inherent to tattooing, I created a sylized gallery look for the site, and went against the rules with a horizontally scrolling layout (based on my own site). I also created a Wordpress section for announcements and an artists' gallery.
Web Work
YCP, Inc. (design and development)
Wendy had been running her storage tank installation business successfully for several years, but needed a web presence to qualify for government contracts. The brochure site needed a simple but professional look.

Credits
Here are some of my associations, friends, and interweb favorites. Oh and badges that prove I checked this site for web compliance and usability. Turn off css. Go ahead! You'll see. OH, and check out the old version of this site.
A note: The W3C validator shows CSS errors. This is due to drop shadows on image thumbnails. These *are* valid in CSS3, but the W3C validator doesn't "know" the box shadow property, so it throws out an error rather than the warning it typically throws out for CSS3 properties.
