I have been doing web design professionally since 1998. I am currently accepting a very limited number of clients. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about your project. Also, please take a look at my portfolio and read my comments on the project. Thank you for your interest and I look forward to working with you.

Web Design Portfolio: (Active)
Here is a list of sites that are currently active. Feel free to follow the link and view the site in its entirety. If you click an image it will enlarge the picture but will only let you see a portion of the site.

	Sorin \| Heart of Evolution http://www.heartofevolution.com This was a cooperative effort with NC Promotions Inc. in Scottsdale, AZ to provide a secure login for doctors to access information about the upcoming seminar in BC.
	Arizona's Children Association http://www.arizonaschildren.org This website and its subsidieries were completed in 2006. It was a redevelopment of an existing site in order to simplify and update the look of their web presence. The website is designed so that staff members can edit the site using Macromedia Contribute to update it more efficiently. I've been working with AzCA since 2004 and am currently maintaining all of AzCA's websites.
	Golden Gate Community Center http://www.goldengatecenter.org This subsidiery of Arizona's Children Association was designed to maintain the look and feel of the parent company while maintaining an identity of its own through use of a seperate color scheme and different imagery.

	Phoenix Philanthropy Group http://www.phoenixphilanthropy.com The Phoenix Philanthropy Group is a leading resource for non-profit organizations seeking to build strategic, innovative and outcomes-driven philanthropic and constituent relations programs. I maintain this website and have edited various aspects of the site, however, I did not come up with the original design.

Here is a list of sites that have been changed or no longer have a web presence. Click on the images to view the screenshot of the site. Some sites may be too large and may be cropped for size constraints.

	The Great American Dream - How to buy a house and a car This website was for an expo that took place at the Civic Plaza. It was the parent expo and prototype to a number of events that were to take place along the same theme.
	The Great American Dream - Business in a box This subsidiery of The Great American Dream group of expos was a concept design that was never put into a website.
	Chevelon Retreat This real estate and community website for the Chevelon Retreat area in Northern Arizona was designed to provide hard to find map resources and real estate listings to those who owned or were looking to purchase land in the area. It also provided local businesses an advertisement opportunity.
	Rezdawgs This Native American band from Arizona wanted a website that better represented the band's image. We created a very modern and functional website that was easy to navigate and allowed for a content and multimedia rich environment.
	Arizona Homes For Sale By Owner This site was created to allow Arizona homeowners to showcase their home in an online gallery.
	Pop 'N Worm This fishing lure company website was built to showcase some of the new lures they had developed.

Web Design Portfolio: (Prototypes)
Here is a list of sites that were developed for concept only. When I'm creating a website for someone, I typically develop a concept page(s) to help the person see what the website will look like and to help them decide on what color schemes and pictures to use. You can see in some of the images that there are places for content to be placed. This is my favorite part in creating a website... being creative.

	Radioactivewear This web concept was developed for a clothing line that was looking at making an online store for their product.
	Julie Thery This yoga instructor and singer wanted to showcase her singing and yoga instruction in the same location and show off her personality at the same time. We tried to capture her style with the hand-drawn menus, whimsical colors, and artistic photography.
	Arizona Greenscapes This local commercial/residential landscape company wanted to make an online presence for clients to further research the abilities and trustworthiness of the company.
	Rezdawgs This Native American band from Arizona wanted a website that better represented the band's image. We created a very modern and functional website that was easy to navigate and allowed for a content and multimedia rich environment.
	Hitch Art This web concept was part of a number of graphics I provided to the company while they were in development of the product. The product can be viewed in my graphics portfolio.
	Alliance Financial Capital This project was done in association with a consulting firm. The company was looking for a simple web presence.
	The Original Web Dictionary This concept was based on a book by Joe Harrelson entitled "The Original Web Dictionary", available on Amazon.com. This book was created to be a fun way for newbies to the internet to learn web jargon and have fun looking at illustrations. This website was to be an online version of the book as well as a place to purchase products.
	Paul Fife Design This website was created as a concept for a designer to showcase his graphic work.
	ISSI - International Service Solutions Inc. ISSI asked me to redesign their website. I provided them with four options to choose from. These are the 3 design concepts that did not get chosen.
