I was brought on to help develop SimplyProspects when it was just an idea: “How can we disrupt the lead gen market?” I quickly began working with a team to design and engineer a platform that allowed the target vertical, lawyers, to filter nationally generated legal leads by specific practice areas and target zip codes. The system included an advanced auction and auto-bidding component, email alerts, a complex back-end for managing lead flow and corporate reporting. SimplyProspects is now a fully-functional and extensible marketing solution built on top of the CodeIgniter MVC framework and running on the Rackspace cloud for maximum growth potential in a hot start-up sector! » http://www.simplyprospects.com.com
Because of my experience working in the web hosting industry, I was approached by a group of partners who wanted to start a new brand. They came to me with a name, “Web Hosting Hub” and I took it from there. I developed the brand, created the design, built the website, helped with product development and integrated a WordPress component to help maximize their SEO efforts. Today the brand continues to see growth and success in a very competitive industry. » http://www.webhostinghub.com
With the opening of Olive Branch Counseling Center’s third location, a new website seemed like a great way to expand the reach of their counseling services to a larger community. Though since their last attempt at establishing an online presence a lot had changed. SEO, Google maps, local search, contact forms and usability standards seemed daunting to a non-profit simply looking for a “new website”. By approaching the project much like a counselor would approach a new patient, in a few short months we were able to unravel the mysteries of the web by creating small milestones that added up to one large transformation.

“I’ve wanted to own a pet store since I was eight years old. I can’t believe I am doing this.
It’s like a dream come true.” - Owner
For the next four months it was my dream too. From the logotype to the placement of product on the shelf, everything had to be perfect. The project oozed personality. A pet shop is not a destination, it is an experience, and we wanted ours to be creative and unique. Visitors encounter a combination of artful and adorable, cute and clever, furry and friendly. From satin finish business cards to self-serve treat bins, feel free to touch.
After fifteen years working as a civil engineer for companies across the US, Anthony decided to start his own firm. He knew exactly what services he could offer and what markets he wanted to target. Together we discovered how.
Engineers are, well, engineers. They have unique personalities, specific discourse, and their services require the utmost precision. I began by asking Anthony about color schemes and he replied, “I like the color of my shirt.” One week later and we had decided on a name, developed an identity, and ordered business cards. They match his shirt perfectly.
Susan Kozel’s work is all about experience, her performances are both interpretive and experiential. Translating her phenomenology to print was a challenge, adding perforations, scores, and folds helped the work to unfold intimately and organically.
Utility Board Shop in Ontario, CA was looking for logos and t-shirt designs for the new season. A few days in Illustrator and I came up with a grungy 2-color piece that I felt would resonate with the skateboarding culture and also be something I would be proud to wear. Their response? “I like your style.” - Enough said.
The majority of press covering the automotive industry tends to be factual. It answers questions about performance, handling, and interior amenities. However, the brand strategy of an automaker, the emotional heritage of a single model, and the relationship between brands impact buyer’s decisions just as strongly. I created a template for a new kind of discourse, one that does not just focus on the automobile, but all the meta that surrounds it.
Trends in web design can move very quickly, this can pose a problem for businesses maintaining an online presence. Not sure what a redesign would look like or could offer?
A concept design is a great way to find out.
