a little bit geek, a whole lotta rebel... what started with a self-taught graphic designer doing a little personal blogging for fun has evolved into a pretty sweet gig for this southern shortie. i'm a personal trainer for your internet-self and i want to show you how to be your best online. a little hand-holding and some gentle nudging out of the nest, and pretty soon you'll be riding that horse into the sunset with no training wheels!

i may have smooshed a few metaphors there...
you know how you have that ONE friend who will always be super honest with you :: "yes, those jeans make you look like you have denim-cased sausages for thighs." :: and you love her and know she's just gonna give it to you straight? i'm that kind of friend.

i'm also that kind of consultant. i'm not going to try to up-sell you or cross-sell you or really, any kind of sell-you. i'm going to listen and i'm going to work and i'm going to teach you how to do as much as you're comfortable with...

i offer traditional web and graphic design, consulting and training by the hour and a little shazam-wow-omg package called Doing The Damn Thing...

It’s possible to have fun with latin AND web design. I promise.

Ahhh, dummy text. Sample copy. Filler… It’s what you need to understand your website’s shape. It’s the difference between seeing a dress on a hanger and actually trying it on. Sometimes you’ve gotta get in on your body in order to see how much you love (or hate) something about it. Here’s a great post [...]
