last december, i had the chance to travel to paris and to attend the amazing two day conference, LeWeb ‘09. i took this opportunity to spend a week in paris, exploring with only an iphone, a wonderful HD flip cam, laptop and a backpack of clothes. the result is the video podcast episode below, and many, many great memories
just some samples
i have been working at designing and creating the web for over 12 years. after over nine years of working with clients on projects of all sizes, here is a small collection of my work. to filter the entries by project type, please select a category below.
Bryan Beller, of the Bryan Beller Band approached me to do a tour poster with a quick turnaround. The photograph of the band and poster text were provided, the rest was up to me. So after listening to both bands on youtube for several hours, this tour poster design emerged. Anytime I do design work for a band, I find it much easier to capture the essence of the band when listening to their creation (sometimes on constant repeat, and usually the louder the better
), while I work on mine. It’s a good thing I live alone.
I was approached by KDS Moses Inc., a software company in wisconsin with the task to completely re-design their website. they also wanted a website run on a CMS. The solution was a customized wordpress web site, with an animated slideshow illustrating the key points of their software right on the home page. by putting their software product “front and center” on their website, they have been able to attract more customers.

in the summer of 2009 my good friend, Kate Tripoli, organized a team for the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk, and wanted to stand out with matching tshirts. she gave me what she wanted it to say, and this was the outcome.
thanks to Mari Reed for taking this photo of the final product (and my friend Kate)
great work guys, thanks for raising money for a worthy cause.
One day i got an email via facebook asking if i would play the drums on the main stage at milwaukee’s pridefest. Of course i agreed and met Emily White shortly after, when she dropped off two CDs for me to practice with. After a quick “talk through” of the songs the morning before going on stage, this was our first official time playing together as a trio. the following video is a collection of raw video captured by the official Pridefest videographer (and my good friend) Jessica Janiuk. And i would be that girl drummer making all the strange faces while playing
(and ps, go check out Emily White’s music. she is very talented and a joy to play music with)
for someone involved with creating and producing video and new media content, it’s crucial to have a site to display that in a simple, yet interesting way. I met Rachael Joy through the video social networking portion of seesmic.com, and later was approached with the job of creating an online portfolio to display her work. Rachael really enjoyed the dramatic, yet simple layout of tracyapps.org. The simple layout of this site provides a great canvas to display, and not distract from, the videos that Rachael produces and/or hosts. Best wishes on your continued success, Rachael! (also, if any of you need a host or a producer for web, tv or both go check out her stuff… it’s great!)
