Design
A random selection of my designs (clicking on a thumbnail will take you to a larger version on flickr.com).
I have worked as a designer for nearly 10 years, specializing in web design and information architecture, for clients ranging from educational institutions to small businesses. I currently work as the Manager of Electronic Communications at the University of Chicago Law School and do freelance design through Design:Intelligent, the freelance design collective that I co-founded in 2007.
I have experience in the following areas:
- standards-compliant website creation using XHTML and CSS
- information architecture
- user interface design
- "new media" (podcast and video) creation and distribution
- social media marketing
- logo and identity design
- brochure, business card and poster design
At its core, good design is about elegant problem-solving and compelling story-telling: how does one communicate one's message -- one's story -- to the intended audience effectively and efficiently? Good design should look nice, of course, but its beauty should spring fundamentally from a clear understanding of the ideas being communicated, and of the connections between them.
Your website, your printed brochures, your logo -- each of these tells a story to everyone who sees them. I can help ensure that your story is told beautifully and heard accurately by the people you are trying to reach.
