Background

I am a 24 year old graphic / web designer / developer. I have been designing and working for 5 years in the industry now and my love for it grows daily. The one thing in life that has driven me more than anything is music, and if it weren't for music I wouldn't have discovered this great passion in the first place.

I started out designing little things for a band I was in and it grew from there. Starting out just designing stickers and flyers to creating full print designs for CD art, shirts and a fully functioning web site. During the span of this time I knew it was something I had to pursue, art and music have always been one in the same to me, so I knew if I was good at playing and creating why not use those tools for  the visual aspect of music as well?

I still love designing anything music related so bands please do not be shy contacting me for anything. It is something I will always understand, and the vision for your band is no exception.

Mission

When it comes to design there is only one rule I follow. If I'm not satisfied the client isn't satisfied.

Working on new site designs and corporate identities is a true passion for me and something I take very serious. I understand the importance of presence and appeal that companies and bands need to bring to the table when pursuing a full blown all original web site or even just a few new tweaks to an already existing logo. Nothing is more important than the other.

I love it all, from learning new tricks of the trade to stay ahead of the curve or just keeping a
"less is more" strategy for clients and making their look very easy on the eyes.
