Vector HomepageVector Case StudyThe guys at Vector Media Group had outgrown their old site, and their next site design needed to address all the unique idiosyncrasies that make Vector such a great team. Vector brings a new level of  openness and tangible results to SEO and SEM, and I was excited to get the opportunity to express that through my design and xhtml/css work for them.

Settlement Perspectives: Blog

Design  |   Development

Recently, I had the pleasure of working with the best settlement negotiator I have ever met. Mr. John DeGroote had an epiphany on the shores of Galveston not too long ago, and I got to help him wrangle that intangible aspiration in to a bona fide website plus identity. Pay him a visit… I am sure you will learn something.

Settlement Perspectives: Logo

Identity

Settlement Perspectives is a blog dedicated to the art of negotiation. While it mainly relies on the expertise of it’s owner, Mr. John DeGroote, the site encourages differing perspectives on the common problems of negotiation, mediation, litigation and settlement disputes.

Midget Widget

Design  |   Development  |   Experiments

The midget is a smaller version of  John Hicks, an Art Director. Not THE Jon Hicks, but a fascinating character all his own. John and I concepted, designed and built the midget as a self-promotional Apple widget that allows him to update users with his current activities. I also built a simple CMS to allow him to easily update his info.

Of Many Colors

Design  |   Development

The name “Of Many Colors” refers to Joseph’s coat of many colors from Genesis. OMC is a faith-based, multi-cultural musical group that fuses gospel and jazz in to a unique sound and experience. I could try to explain more, or you could just go and give them a listen.

March of Dimes — Signature Chefs 2007

Identity

For the past three years, I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with the March of Dimes, Dallas chapter, to help promote their Signature Chefs Auction. This was a logo I worked on for the 2007 theme.

Garage Concepts

Design  |   Development

Garage Concepts provides high quality garage clean out and renovation services, and they were in dire need of a site that promotes the best parts of their brand. A big challenge in bringing this site to life was accommodating their extensive line of material and product choices.

Futsoka

Identity

Futsoka is a work in progress, dedicated to the love of the beatiful game. I created their identity, as well as a line of soccer oriented t-shirts. The idea was to move soccer paraphenalia beyond sports and slogans in to the realm of designer t-shirts.
