A bit about me
2003
Taking the Leap
After designing part-time, I made the leap into quitting my day job. With five years of web design experience under my belt and a degree in film with a bunch of festival awards. My first big client was in corporate video and I earned several Telly Awards in addition to offering web design using tools like Macromedia Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash, winning a prestigious Webby Award.
2006
Brandweaver
After three years full-time and being mentored by several leading brand designers through the CEO Space network, I rebranded my company as Brandweaver to focus on Brand Identity Design. I began take on several high-profile start-up brands in technology and luxury retail.
2021
Getting Over the Covid Hump
In 2021, we settled into living in rural Minnesota after urban California and Utah and working fully remote with little local business networking. I continued to work with legacy clients and several in-state projects.
2023
Webflow
While I had worked with Flash in the old days and now Adobe Animate for a recent project, I realized the value of web native tool for building rich interactive presentation websites. I was blown away by the potential of Webflow and dove with a commitment to mastery for clients.
