My Design Portfolio
My website design career kicked off in 2003 at UNK when I used Adobe GoLive to build several websites for student groups and my fraternity. Throughout my political career, I built websites for candidates and causes. In 2014, I took a marketing job and expanded my design skills to include brochures, flyers, and short magazines.
While marketing was an enjoyable career detour, I’m pleased to have returned to my main passion of helping organizations form, scale, and operate efficiently. Unfortunately, operations work isn’t as easy to showcase as website development work is – but hey, that’s what my blog is for.
I still do some design work and take on the occasional website development project. If you are interested in working with me, visit my website development page to learn more.
