I love to learn. At this point, there isn’t a lot that I haven’t done – or at least tried. With my line of work, I think it’s important to know what you’re talking about.

Brand Identity

I’ve created new brands from scratch and reinvented existing brand identities. Logos, color swatches, visual guidelines… the works.

Web Design

I’m a WordPress-aholic. I’ve built more WordPress sites than I’ve changed diapers. I’ve changed A LOT of diapers.

Video

My life changed the day I began focusing on the ins and outs of high-quality video production. The world has never looked more beautiful to me.

Audio

I’ve recorded two CDs in the last two years. Legit CDs. CDs that you can buy on iTunes, Amazon and at bookstores throughout the country. It’s crazy, I know.

Motion Graphics

From short motion graphics assets to completely animated corporate infomercials, I love using motion to tell a story.

Mobile Apps

I’ve built mobile apps that can run on iOS, Android and Windows. I also have the bags under my eyes from countless all-nighters to prove it.

E-Commerce

So many of today’s businesses are completely online. I’ve become well-versed in e-commerce, helping one client increase monthly revenue by 665%.

SEO

While building websites, I’ve learned the ins and outs of Search Engine Optimization. I’m a firm believer in the power of quality and consistent content, and I’ve got the analytics to back it up.

Social Media

I’ve been designing and implementing social media strategies since before everyone’s Grandmas were on Facebook.

Analytics

If you can’t measure it, it’s worthless. I primarily work within Google Analytics and Webmaster tools.

Coding

If you couldn’t tell by now, I can code. I dream in HTML and CSS. I also know my way around a little Javascript, Jquery and PHP.

Watch Making

OK, I don’t actually know how to make a watch. I just really like this icon.

Mormon Guitar

If you’ve Googled my name, you may have already seen my website Mormon Guitar. It began a few years ago as a creative outlet where I could post original arrangements of hymns for the guitar each month. I also create interactive guitar TAB and post video lessons of each arrangement so people can learn how to play them. Everything on the site is free. It’s a labor of love.
