Services

From strategy and marketing to design and development, I offer a wide range of services that encompass all aspects of a project from start to finish.

Strategy

Project strategies can vary widely based on audience, budget, timeline and goals. From creating a digital audit, custom marketing plan, or choosing the right technology platform, I create custom strategies that match the specific needs of your audience.

Marketing

Social media, PPC, organic & paid SEO, to email and banner campaigns, tapping into the right marketing solution requires authenticity with your audience. Staying focused on outdoor sports and technology allows me to stay true to the world I live in.

Design

With over 24 years of experience, design is at the core of every project I take on. From web design, UI/UX, mobile apps and interactive touchscreens, design is the foundation of every project.

Development

Websites, apps, touchscreens and responsive development is a whole lot more than just writing code. It requires working knowledge of the latest browsers and devices, along with industry wide best practices (and behind the scene secrets).

About

I'm a graphic designer, digital content creator, UI/UX specialist, web & app product designer, interaction pro, font collector, illustrator, americano drinker, south paw and goofy footer.

My dad was a pioneer in the computer art & design world (in the 80's), which exposed me to the creative side of computer technology as a young kid. So it was no surprise I started doing animation demos at corporate trade shows by 11 years old — A genius sales technique by my dad, but I was just happy earning money to buy skateboards.

Down the road, when I finally accepted becoming a pro skater, surfer or snowboarder was not my future, I naturally felt the pull back to design and technology. I went on to graduate from S.F. State University with what was one of the first offered digital design degrees. I then cut my teeth at various high-end, fast-paced design agencies in San Francisco, Marin County and San Diego.

From there, I founded a digital agency located in Portland, Oregon. Our team grew fast and furious over the next decade, working on large-scale projects for Nike, Qualcomm, Zumiez, Smith Optics, Visa, Intel, Habana Labs, SORAA, etc.

In 2024, after 24 years of burning the creative candle from both ends, I chose to step away from the non-stop agency grind. Today, you can find me in my backyard studio working on a design project, or depending on the season, skating the backyard mini-ramp or snowboarding with my wife and son.
