The following are examples of my design ability. As a multi-talented Web and print designer I am certainly not locked into any one type of design style or genre. As you an clearly see below, my talent is sufficently wide-ranging, allowing me to bring to life the clients' imaginations.

HTML5 and MOBILE website applications, for all platforms including iOS, Android and other mobile devices.

Created originally for Flash using the WIX platform, this site was re-produced in the time frame of one week, incorporating more than 30 videos and all material found on all pages of the original site, this time in HTML5. The platform boasts a wide range of compatibility including iOS, Android, and almost all existing browsers.

Showreel has a been a long time client of mine and this time was no different - I received the highest marks from this award winning team and more importantly, one of the founders of Showreel, Inc, Eric himself.

As HTML5 was introduced a few years ago, I was keenly aware of it's potential impact on a wide base of Web applications and the likelihood of this technology replacing FLASH completely. While it remains to be seen, it looks like that's exactly what will happen in the coming years.

We're already seeing Adobe discontinue it's development of FLASH in favor of EDGE, which will be it's defacto replacement.

As an avid technologist and entrepreneur I am always looking for the next thing coming down the pipe, which will help me remain at the top of my market. HTML5 is just the latest one to hit the mainstream.

This project is the evolution of this business in it's industry from one of a perception by its costomer base as 'cookie cutter' and 'not to be taken seriously' to an engaging and professional design which commands respect.

A Veteran's Non Profit original Design for website and logo.

Freedom's Path- A Non Profit organization dedicated to provide leadership for a divine mission that was begun by America’s Founding Fathers as the foundations of our new Nation were being formed. Freedoms Path will once again mobilize everyday Americans seeking divine guidance to transform their communities by declaring the Hope that lies within them and defining Purpose in their lives.Our Founding and Freedom, based on Moral, Constitutional and Religious principles, was fought for by families that had a compelling vision to create a self-governing society with liberty and justice for all. They were ambassador’s intent on building Freedoms Path in communities that would be an example to the rest of the world.

My Task with this project so far has been to create an original design, logo, and website that is built on the CMS technology of WordPress, and assist in any technology areas that can further the mission of the company.

It is set to launch early next year, but an exact date is not yet set.

Genuto PreLaunch Developed site - Site Build on WordPress

The Logo and Packaging Design of this site was produced by Trevor Thompson, but I was tasked to produce the website. With just a few days left till launch, here it is. The site looks simple, but some parts that are built in WordPress are customized to meet the exact look and feel the designer was after. He supplied a Photoshop file, and I carefully took each peice and placed them in the code to reproduce the exact look.

The navigation on the second thumbnail below is custom, and the entire site is created with CSS classes for easy modifications and consistent design.
