Sites Made for People

Hello!

I am an independent web designer and developer working and living in Portland, Ore.

Be it whole websites or user interface design, I hand-craft experiences that are user-centric, reduce friction and delight with serendipitity.

Feel free to find out more about me, who hires me, how I can help, or see some of the projects I’ve completed recently. Or perhaps you’re wondering about cost and/or what you get when you hire me. Are you interested in this website? Whatever the case, if you have any questions I encourage you to simply contact me.

Clients

My typical client is a small- to medium-sized business, often led by an single individual or small team.

When I work with medium-sized businesses, I work on and lead teams utilizing my design, code, user-centric ethic to drive their application user interface decisions for the benefit of their users.

Small businesses that choose me believe in making sure that their brand is authentically represented, inline with company identification and frankly, themselves. (After all, they are a user too.) I work hard to let the brand speak through the design and the process of editing their content fit their own work style and needs. Every project and client is different, and I look to make sure that the end result reflects that individuality.

As I have a long-time, close friend (with whom I share design sensibilities) in the business of Willamette Valley wine, my small business clients do skew to Oregon wineries and vineyards, and I do have alcohol-related, e-commerce and fulfillment experience to serve them.
