Communicate. Information. Visually.

Brand design
Identity packages, logos, emblems

Hand crafted
I still enjoy picking up the pencil or paintbrush to create original illustrations.

Website front-end
I used to build WordPress and Magento themes back in the day and am very familiar with most major CMS platforms.
These days I've dipped a toe into Next.js, but largely use Jamstack frameworks with Tailwind and Alpine on top.

My design ethos
Communicate. Information. Visually.
A design has seconds to make an impression. If the purpose of the design isn't immediately apparent you've lost the chance to connect with most of your target audience. The hard truth is that almost everyone who looks at your company is going to glance at it. You need to make the absolute most of those few seconds.
It's nearly impossible to meet this need with text alone
Properly designed visuals impart tons of information at a glance. The moment you look at something you've already retained an impression about
- What is the purpose, or message being relayed
- How does this relate to what I'm currently doing?
- Do I recognize this as being part of something else?
- Who is communicating this message
It's more important for your branding to be uniform than good
Get the right people in the right places, give them the tools they need, provide them a safe environment to shine and let them get on with it.

What am I looking for?
In a nutshell I'm looking for opportunities where I can add the most value.
Continuing to develop my skills across the board, this means working with people who are better than me.
Somewhere that recognizes the advantages of an agile methodology: Having solid task tracking, with visibility and accountability. Or at the least are willing to put in the work implementing such a system.
