From my early early days of game design with Digital Fugue to recent freelance projects here are a few interactive design things that represent my capabilities.

A former Hanson colleague (Danielle Wiley) put me in contact with a person wanting a new website and business cards to coincide with BlogHer 2009 in Chicago. I designed the blog and business cards simultaneously hoping to provide a cohesive look between the two mediums. Check out the before version here.
