There is great power in that word. As a child we all make-believe. For me this led the way to a love of art, music, literature, and movies. Throughout my education this love of creativity has been by hallmark. As a designer I get to use my skills and tools to shape that creativity, but with greater purpose.
So I guess as a grown-up I still get to make...Believe
Welcome to my online portfolio. This website was created to showcase some of the work I have done over the years. I have had the pleasure of learning from some of the best design teachers and mentors in my career and my wish is that my body of work does them justice.
A very wise person once gave me some great advice: "The man who does what he loves for a living is on vacation for his whole career." I enjoy designing and look forward to “vacationing” for many years to come. Please take your time to look through my website. I hope it inspires you.

Every year I would redesign the corporate website for Business Promotion. This was in addition to the many landing pages and advertising campaigns that I designed.
As the company grew, so did the complexity of the corporate website. With this design I even wrote some of the content myself.
Even though this is a pediatric dentist the client expressed a desire to have the website feel more grown up. the best way to do that was to showcase the environmental aesthetic of the practice itself.
The photographic nature of this website allowed me to focus more on the UX based navigation, parallax elements and a more contemporary feel than most pediatric sites.
This was a many faceted project. Starting with the logo design, business card design and finally the website. I explained to the client the concept of a multi-paralax design with the content panels moving on top of the peek-through parallax backgrounds. This was challenging since the design phase only showed the clients a static image. However they placed their confidence in the concept and like the final project.
This was one of two websites that I designed for Dr Campbell. His practice was organized into two separate disciplines: a dental treatment clinical practice, and a continuing education, instructional course where Dr Campbell could train other dentists around the country.
This website was primarily for the clinical practice, but emphasizes his biofunctional education and treatment philosophy (which is the focus of his educational course).
This website was designed back in 2015. The client wanted to be able to provide an online service that would connect the visitor with licensed notary services in their area through the websites professional network.
Social Sail is a in-office media app that dental offices can use to post fun and engaging photos and video to their social media accounts, also allowing the patients to post and share as well. This helps dental offices interact with their pateints on social media, increasing their patient retention.
This is a wireframe for a redesign of the Social Sail app. I worked closely with the lead developer of the original app to conceptualize a more modern UI that the existing app.
This is the landing page for the Social Sail app. I started with a wireframe of the main concept: a one-page landing page that we could use as a locus for PPC and Adwords campaigns.
The design needed to showcase the features of the app with a simple infographic and help establish the brand guides that would carry over into the app itself, and other online and print marketing.
