Read about what I love to do and testimonials from clients
I love to design and build websites, HTML emails and marketing campaigns. In my free time I enjoy playing guitar, making artwork and spending quality time with my family. I am a highly visual, artistic and technical person that takes great care with details. I learned concepts of layout, typography, color and overall aesthetics in design school. These are aspects that come naturally to me by overcoming challenges creatively and technically. I enjoy translating concepts into products, and can do so efficiently without sacrificing quality. Web development and design is constantly changing, which is why continual learning is a priority as well as a source of enjoyment in my professional work life.
I have over 7 years of professional experience as a web and graphic designer/front end developer. I am an expert using Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash, Indesign (CS4, CS5 & CS6). I am also experienced using jQuery, HTML/HTML5, CSS/CSS3, XML, Javascript, Actionscript, PHP and Wordpress.
I've designed and built webpages and websites for companies like Univision, Coca Cola, the ARMY, the ATC and Johns Hopkins. Currently I'm learning more about database development (Ruby on Rails, Python, MySQL) to better understand the flow of data from the back end to the front end of a website to produce even more dynamic sites for my clients. I also have experience in UX/UI design in the healthcare, education and technology markets.
I design and code responsive emails that resize and re-format depending on the viewer's screen size, so they look great whether viewing on a desktop, laptop, tablet or phone and on all email carriers such as Outlook, Gmail and Hotmail. I've developed emails for companies like Toshiba, Hewlett Packard, the Air National Guard, Sallie Mae, The US Department of Education, Pfizer and many more.
I have over 2 years of experience directing and mentoring junior staff. As a manager I work with my team to set goals and provide quarterly reviews. Within our group I enjoy leading brainstorming sessions to conceptualize and develop ideas before they hit the screen or paper. When you've got the idea you've already done most of the work. As a mentor I provide junior staff with technical guidance and constructive feedback to improve their designs.
I'm proud of the work I do and value feedback from my clients and co-workers. Read what they think below.
"I am extraordinarily happy with the quality of design and development work that Adam has been doing for us at HP."
" Adam was a pleasure to work with. He accepted every challenge with smile, and was creative and resourceful in his approach. Adam was always open to suggestions and critiques, and worked very well as a part of our team."
"..you have been such a key player in launching this site. It looks really, really good. You should be very proud."
"Adam worked hard and listened well to my ideas and added his own flair to produce an outstanding logo for my candy store that gets lots of praise from my customers."
"This is a great page, thank you for creating it! The site now has so much potential thanks to Adam!"
You're awesome and the programmers (me) are awesome! Please pass along my sincerest gratitude to them. Being a small college comes with many challenges. It is just a shame that marketing is one of them. Thank you, thank you!!!
" You continue to do an outstanding job on all levels – your creative designs, willingness to be flexible in work requests, and your curiosity in learning new things to take your work here at the Q to a new level."
Adam is a really talented person. Aside from being a skilled artist, he is awesome at learning systems and completing responsibilities on time. We are thrilled to have him on board! Any one in need of freelance work should consider Adam. He has a great skill set and sharp eye for detail.
Review the world class services I offer
According to Google 72% of web users want mobile friendly sites. 61% said they will leave a site if it is not optimized for their phone. Go ahead and resize your browser to see exactly what I'm talking about. Responsive web design and development will give your user a fantastic experience whether they are on a desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone. I will build you a fantastic website with my knowledge of Javascript, jQuery, PHP, CSS3 and HTML5
Emails I've designed and coded have achieved up to a 50% click through rate. This is incredibly high, click through rates typically run between 9-15%. I can do the same for you by taking your email campaigns to the next level. My expertise designing responsive emails will optimize the view and readability of your message while my eye for design will provide a fresh look that will keep your users interested and engaged.
Building awesome websites, emails and identities are my specialty and are key components to an effective marketing campaign that will bring more users to your site than ever before. Maybe they open a great looking email with a clear call-to-action, see an interesting ad on facebook that they can't help but click on, or see an ad in a major publication that drives them to your site. I've been providing all different types of outreach for half a decade and have seen sites go from 100,000 visitors to over 3 million.
Your company's brand identity is the face of your business. The more it resonates with your clients the more engaged and interested they will be in your product or service. Brand identities I've designed have attracted millions of site visitors. I carefully assemble just the right colors, shapes and symbols to create the look and feel your clients will identify with.
It takes more than an attractive website to attract and engage your key demographic. For example, 24 year old professionals are looking for a different experience than teenagers or grandparents. I'll use my knowledge and experience of user interaction to make their experience fun, easy and effective.
Stay in touch I'm happy to hear from you!
