I am currently employed fulltime as a strategist at smashLAB in Vancouver, BC.
I had my humble beginnings with the brilliant team at Thinkhouse Design, helping transform them from a one-man print shop into a full service design studio. For four years I worked as their lead interactive designer/developer and strategist. In March of 2009 I decided to branch out on my own as a full-time freelancer. Both Thinkhouse and my freelance projects gave me valuable experience in brand development, strategic and creative thinking, print and interactive design, and web development. I moved to Vancouver in December 2010, and am currently working at smashLAB.
When I'm not designing or writing nerdy tutorials, I am usually playing Gaelic Football, Soccer or Scrabble, reading, or hanging out with my amazing cat, Misha.
I help people determine what they need from a business perspective.
I believe in simple, intelligent solutions which communicate strategically. I work with clients who understand the importance of strong, conceptually driven work, and value what design can do for their business. I enjoy working with individuals, entrepreneurs, non-profits and small businesses.
I code all of my websites using XHTML, CSS, JQuery and Textpattern or Wordpress. Building my sites with Content Management Systems allows my clients to update their websites easily, without requiring them to understand code. For e-commerce solutions I use Shopify.
