I make websites and stuff

I am a graphic designer in Manhattan Beach, CA with an excellent understanding of client service intricacies. I specialize in XHTML, CSS and building CMS-driven websites. I create clean, user-friendly interfaces based on thoughtful understanding of my client’s needs.

I love helping small businesses overhaul their current websites into publishing powerhouses. I design websites by hand, code by hand, and build upon the amazing CMS ExpressionEngine. I listen to my client’s needs and translate them into a simple, powerful website.

Available for work

You need website work done, I make websites. A dream come true it would seem, no? But there’s a catch. You have to hire me first, before any of the magic can happen! I don’t make the rules, that’s just how it works. Trust me, it’s a lot simpler than it sounds.

Some things to consider before clicking though. If you find that you need a website up tomorrow, sorry. Move along. If you have a grand plan for your website, plenty of patience as well as gusto, you’re on the right track. If you have no idea what you need but know you need something, I may be able to help there too.

Just click here.
You know you want to.
