It always seems that the larger the design agency, the less likely it is that you be will be communicating directly with the people responsible for the actual design and development of your site. The farther those responsible for development are from you, the slower they will be to react to changes, and the harder it becomes for them to accurately grasp your vision.

Working as a freelancer, I have fewer clients than larger design firms. My clients benefit enormously from this because it allows more time for personal interaction; I make myself available and am able to respond quickly to changes and feature requests. You'll get my personal cell number (the same one that I talk to my friends and family with) — not a business line.

If you're looking for a talented designer, excellent communicator and skilled individual capable in both design and development, get in touch.

I'm sure you've heard it before: good design needs time to bake in the oven. Sometimes the perfect design just lands in your lap, although more often than not it takes dozens of revisions. It's all very unpredictable. But race conditions with your wetware is the last thing you want to deal with when lp0 on fire. In order to mitigate some of this unpredictability you need someone who understands the intricacies behind modern web development.

Let's geek out for a moment: I run Debian* on the server and a combination of Arch and Windows 7 (Adobe products...) at home. I have Vim-centric setup, utilizing xmonad , Vimperator , and the titular application itself for all web development.

Currently, my language of choice is Ruby. I've used Rails in the past, but have jumped ship to Merb until 3.0. I'm also learning me a Haskell. I've built several CMSes, a Project Management System, and have written enough JavaScript to appreciate the good parts. I tolerate PHP when it has been properly beaten into submission.

Are you seeking a designer who knows life outside of Adobe products? Someone who cares to know the difference between the MIT, BSD, and GNU licenses? If so, get in touch.
