The future of social media is in niche networks, or networks that appeal to a very specific group of people.  You can read about it in this article from USA Today.  If you have a great idea for a social network, one that appeals to a specific group of people (quilting, video gamers, travelers, whatever you want!) then I would love to design your platform.  Give me a ring or shoot me a message and let’s get started!

All I really wanted was something that didn’t have all of the broken links that my old site had. I just haven’t had time…and yes, I think for a designer, it’s much harder to design your own site. With that in mind, I had someone else do most of the design and I simply did the programming. I’m just thrilled to have a clean site where I can showcase my work, keep people up-to-date with the latest news and even have a place to blog…though I’m not sure if I’ll be doing much of that or not.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the site and that it’s easy to get around on. At least now you can see some recent work from the last year instead of stuff that I did when I was still cutting my teeth in this business. Leave a comment to let me know what you think!
