I bring a decade of experience to
Web Design, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and Digital Marketing in Austin, Texas
. I design websites, develop digital marketing campaigns and optimize search engine placement to connect my clients with customers and build communities. My works combines a strong visual approach with an intense focus on technical process to develop digital marketing products that increase sales, expand markets and build communities.
Prior to working as a contract web developer and digital marketer, I was a
commercial photographer
in New York. I am also one of the original
co-founders and creators of Dripbook
.
When I lived in New York, I worked as a commercial and editorial photographer shooting music, fashion and culture. I had a lot of fun and am hugely proud of the work which crossed boundaries between digital and extreme analog, showcasing both the crisp and grit of that beautiful city.
I worked a lot with analog films including the amazing Polaroid 665, which I bought by the case from any corner store that stocked it as it was being phased out by the manufacturer. I had a drum scanner in my shotgun apartment and used a lot of now no longer available film cameras like the Contax T3. As digital turned to motion, I used Canon cameras tethered to skateboards and BMX bikes to experiment with the adaptations of the medium.
In 2007, I co-founded the creative platform Dripbook when I lived in New York and grew it into an award-winning international portfolio website for commercial artists including advertising photographers, illustrators, designers and stylists. I had a lot of fun developing and commercializing popular products on a three-per-year release cycle including:
-
Web based platform that allowed non-technical commercial artists to upload images and video, create portfolios and be hired by art buyers at ad agencies and magazines worldwide
-
Website builder that turned each artist's portfolio into a stand alone website - hosted at any domain - that automatically synchronized with any changes to the artist's digital portfolio
-
Mobile Apps for iOS and Android that automatically synchronized to each artist's portfolio and stored image and video assets locally to allow for network-free display
-
Custom Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr Social Media Apps that automatically posted to each artist's social media feed each time the artist updated her portfolio
-
HTML5 responsive redesign of the entire platform resulting in mobile, tablet and desktop ready reinvigoration of a 7 year old platform with 500,000 visual assets
