I became involved with internet related design in 1993 when the commercial web was still in its infancy. I now have well over a decade of experience in this field. Although the technology continues to evolve at an amazing pace and the tools at my disposal are always improving, the principles of good visual design have changed little. The design must be an extension of the content. The challenge involves incorporating bold and dynamic design with in the confines of a clean and intuitive interface.

The examples I’ve displayed on this page tend to be samples of recent site designs. However, examples of more specific projects such as banner ads, emails, Flash components, etc. can also be provided upon request.

I have extensive experience developing website, landing pages and emails. Some examples of recent and past work can be found below. Click on a thumbnail to view a larger version.

I've always liked the color in this design. At first I was completely thrown for a loop by CHIGLA's multi colored logo. I like to think that I managed to develop an engaging design that embraces a vibrant color palette with out being overly playful.
