About Me
Once upon a time...
Once upon a time, there was a young boy who knew exactly what he wanted to be from a very young age. From the moment he could talk, he would tell everyone he met that he was going to be a "builder of castles in the sky." Despite his young age, he already had a clear vision of what his future would look like - a career in design and architecture. As he grew older, his passion for imagining, building and creating never wavered. He would spend hours drawing elaborate patterns and structures and decorating them with intricate patterns and designs using paint and markers. He would always be the first to volunteer to help with any creative projects at school, even if it meant building a treehouse in the shape of a spaceship. He was passionate about bringing his wildest dreams to life through building and painting patterns and structures. It was clear to everyone around him that he was destined for a career in the graphic design and architecture industry, where he could combine his love for creating with his artistic talents, and maybe even design a building that could climb to the moon, or a bridge that connects to the clouds. (But really who am I professionally?) – Click and...
But the young boy didn't mind, because he was creating things made of air and sunlight, the laughter of children, the scent of a summer barbecue, the flash of color on a hummingbird's throat. These were things that couldn't be named, but people felt them all the same. He was building things that couldn't be seen, but could be felt and experienced. He was also known for building the most impressive forts out of couch cushions and blankets, that would put any medieval castle to shame. He was creating masterpieces out of mud pies and the most artistic stick figures the world had ever seen. He was building memories, joy, and happiness, and that's all that really mattered. Plus, his creations were always a hit at the neighborhood block party, who doesn't love a giant inflatable dragon made out of balloons?
What I Do
Digital/Graphic
Design
Digital design is like painting, except the paint never dries and you don't have to worry about getting paint all over your clothes. Inspiration is a huge part of graphic design, but so is caffeine. You need to have a great idea to start with, an aesthetic to draw inspiration from, and the motivation to get the job done, that's how I begin the day - with a cup of coffee in one hand and my trusty mouse in the other. Plus, it's way easier to fix mistakes, no more tears or frustration over ruining a piece of art because of a single smudge. And let's be real, undo button is the real MVP.
Web
Design
It's true what they say, websites promote you 24/7, even when you're asleep. And let's be real, no employee will work that hard for you. Web design is not just about creating pretty layouts, it's about creating a website that will work for you even when you're not. It's about understanding the marketing challenge behind your business, and making sure your website is doing the heavy lifting for you. That's what I do, I create websites that work as hard as you do, and even harder. I give your website a caffeine boost to make sure it's always up and running, and ready to promote your business even in the middle of the night. Plus, I'll make sure your website has all the bells and whistles, like a virtual "Open" sign that never turns off and a virtual employee that never takes a lunch break.
Digital Marketing
Retargeting, Google Ads, Social Media, Mail Chimp, CEO...
To help you reach a larger audience than you could through traditional methods, like shouting from a rooftop or sending carrier pigeons. These tools enable you to target the prospects who are most likely to buy your product or service, like a heat-seeking missile for customers. Additionally, it's often more cost-effective than traditional advertising, like buying a billboard on the moon or renting a blimp. With these tools you can measure success on a daily basis, like a stock ticker for your business and pivot as you see fit, like a ballerina on steroids. Plus, you don't have to worry about your message getting lost in the mail or eaten by a seagull.
Web Development
Front-end
Prioritizing user experience, like a personal butler for your website.
Bringing a concept to life with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, like a chef creating a masterpiece dish.
Production and maintenance of websites and web application user interfaces, like a personal trainer for your website.
Creating tools that enhance interaction with the site in any browser, like adding a turbo boost to your website.
Implementing design for mobile sites, like giving your website a mini-me version.
Maintaining software workflow management, like a traffic cop for your website's data.
Looking at SEO best practices, like giving your website a makeover to get more visitors.
Testing the site for usability and fixing any bugs, like a doctor checking on your website's health.
Advertising
Pitch Deck Creation
Are you looking to grow your agency like a giant beanstalk, show off your excellent work like a peacock, and close deals when dream clients enquire about working with you? Like a shark smelling blood in the water, or a bird of prey spotting its prey from miles away? Then, you're in the right place! Sure, I'll just wave my magic wand and poof it's bigger! You got it, I'll just set up a spotlight and a red carpet, it'll be like the Oscars for websites. No problem, I'll just break out my Jedi mind tricks and convince them to sign on the dotted line. But in all seriousness, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to grow an agency and make it successful, to create top-notch work and showcase it effectively, to build relationships with potential clients and close deals.
User
Experience
Even though the UI is obviously an extremely important part of the design, like the frosting on a cupcake, UX is where the exact needs of the customer are met without fuss or bother, like a butler who knows your coffee order before you even ask. Next comes simplicity and elegance that produce products that are a joy to own, like a fancy sports car or a designer handbag and a joy to use, like a remote control with only one button, or a toaster that only toasts one side. True user experience goes far beyond giving customers what they say they want, like a genie in a lamp, or providing checklist features, like a grocery list. It's like a magic trick, where the customer doesn't even realize their needs have been met until it's too late, they're already in love with the product and can't imagine their life without it.
