The governor of America’s second largest state deserves a Web site that reflects his strong personality and clear vision for the state.
At the invitation of his senior staff, I accepted the challenge of replacing his antiquated site with an intuitively-designed, multi-layered vehicle for his message. In the process, I integrated more than 15,000 pages of detailed information culled from a number of related offices including the Press Office, Economic Development & Tourism, the Texas Music Office, Texas Film Commission, and others.
-While continually updating and upgrading the site, I also traveled frequently with the Governor, taking photos & videos, managing live streaming of press events and other duties in support of the Governor’s message.
Owner/Creative Director of Design/Development/Internet Strategy Firm.
Founded Gravity9, a small, nimble creative collective that provides world-class communications solutions for customers ranging from restaurants and retail outlets to churches and non-profits.

In this role, I applied my skills in user-experience design to bridge the gap between our state’s finest university and prospective students of increasingly sophisticated technical ability. The launch of a more modern website that interacts with prospective students rather than just serving as a digital bulletin board of information led to an immediate rise in web traffic and applicants.
A stint at one of Austin’s foremost advertising agencies gave me a chance to hone my skills in a fast- paced environment. I was given the opportunity to have direct impact on brands such as: Dell, AMD, and
Caterpillar. It was here that I truly learned to apply the fundamentals with creative precision.
