My Background and Experience in Website Design and Video Production
With an advanced degree in Media Design from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I understand how our perception works to interpret media and be influenced by it. For many years I worked in a highly reputable corporate environment -- at SAS Institute -- in both video and web design; I freelanced and produced many memorable projects about our state's cultural history and heritage. I also had the pleasure of producing programs for various non-profit organizations. This background provided me with invaluable experience applying design principles, exposure to an array of treatments, and the opportunity to test out many different approaches to website design and video production techniques.
As I apply my range of skills to design in any media, I most enjoy creating a unique look and feel for each and every client. I am also an artist, so it is only most natural that my media work now focusses primarily on website design and/or video for artists, small businesses, and other initiatives.
My visual designs are clean, contemporary and uncluttered. Updates to the websites that I hand-craft are timely and inexpensive.
If your prefer to update your site yourself I can set up a Wordpress site for you. Wordpress offers a wide array of highly functional themes. It can be a confusing to assess the particular features associated with a theme, so I help guide you through that process to make sure you get the functionality you need.
My video work is pleasing to the eye and holds your attention. As in other media, I concentrate on the effect that every angle has and I am aware of how each view contributes to the visual impact.
Marketing Messages Benefit from Good Writing Skills
Unlike some web designers, I have background in marketing and writing, so I can help you -- as a wordsmith -- to craft a strong verbal message that supports the visual; I can help you structure the content on your website so that information is accessible and easy to use. So that after looking through your website, your potential customer or client is compelled to take action, to feel secure in using a particular service, or to understand and see the usefulness or beauty of a product, be it commercial or artistic.
