Visual Design
Does your app or website look and function like it’s supposed to? I help create customer engagement through the use of UX methodology and graphic design principles. Here are a few more specific examples.
Website Design
Creation of Websites began in 2002 and haven’t stopped since. Using the latest technologies I work with teams if needed to deliver on-time and responsive sites and landing pages. Specialized knowledge and adaptability to WordPress, CSS styled or any of the new web CMS products: Wix, SquareSpace, Etsy or Shopify.
App Design
UX/UI training began in 2009 almost by accident. The changing landscape of mobile technology called for a pivot in client interaction with of our flagship desktop product, a mobile version was needed. Over 50+ web and native apps later as a UI Designer I continue specializing in app design working independently or with a team.
Creative Services
Using over 20 years of graphic design and art production experience, I create innovative solutions to help brands achieve their goals. Here are a few of the highlights for the past few years.
Digital Marketing campaigns
Design of high-quality creative materials for social media and e-mail marketing campaigns. From storyboarding concepts and animation to final delivery and formatted for implementing in Google Ads and marketing automated software. The introduction of adding 3D rendered elements has increased the level of sophistication.
Print Advertising
Advertising in the traditional form and working with companies right down to press checks and variable data setup with the printer companies. Starting in 2002 with commercial print production and art direction. Extensive knowledge with professional printing standards and graphic design.
