Specialties

Visual design

The visual design and aesthetic, or "look and feel", is essential to helping your site or app tell its story the right way.

Information architecture

Can your users find their way to the information they need? Could they find their way back? Information architecture is critical to a website’s success.

Creative direction + strategy

Not sure where to begin? That's ok. Let's have a conversation about where you are now and where you're looking to go.

HTML + CSS

Bring designs to life! The details matter here when creating the best, high-end experiences. Need integration with Drupal, WordPress, or your CMS? No problem.

Accessibility & inclusive design

Shouldn't your site work for everyone? There's lots we can do to ensure websites and digital experiences work for all users—without having to settle or compromise designs. Need an accessibility review of your current site? Let's talk.

Site audit

We don’t know what we don’t know. Until we do. An audit gives you a detailed, objective, expert-level view. We’ll review your site in detail and offer commentary on everything from the site navigation and flow to the content and visuals.


Not sure if your project or needs fall neatly into one of these categories?
Reach out anyway and we'll see what we can do. If I can't help, I can likely provide a referral.

Methodologies

Over the years, I’ve tried to distill down a basic set of working values and principles that, I believe—and I hope—permeates the things I do in life, particularly my work.

While I believe that context is everything and that every client, project, product, environment, and experience is distinctive in its own way, I try to start from these basic, simple rules:

  1. Question things. Status quo or otherwise.
  2. Be truthful & straightforward.
  3. Logic matters. Stuff should make sense.
  4. Never compromise on quality.
  5. There’s always something to learn.
