The Bighorn Center is a political policy foundation. After years with their
old site, they asked for a new look, reorganized content, and a streamlined
content management system. After a few tries, I came up with a design that
everyone liked, yet was flexible enough to incorporate content that was still
being written and organized.
High Plains Village is a McStain development north of Denver. The HOA asked
us to build an extranet to foster communication within the association and
community. The site features a robust CMS that gives the client full stylistic
control. Unfortunately, 95% of the site is password protected so you can't
really see much of it.
JPadillaLaw.com is a small site for a new law firm downtown. The client asked
for a design that showcased the downtown location and his favorite team's
colors.
Family Flex is a day care and early education center. The site incorporates
a liquid layout and photographs of the owners' kids.
Hall & Evans, a long time client of Intellinet Interactive, asked for
a new look. Working with their existing logo, favorite mountain photo, and
a desire to show off their office, I designed the site. A developer later
added a CMS to the existing HTML site structure.
Courtroom Technologies provides high tech presentation services for the attorney
in court. As much of their work is projected on screen, I built on the concept
to design and code this site.
I helped the people at High Plains Bank streamline and organize their content
and then designed this site around it. A few last minute requirements and
changes found their way in to complete a project that both bank employees
and bank customers are thrilled with.
The client asked me to design a small site to help promote a legal reference
book.
The Wine and Spirits Wholesalers group asked for a small web site to help
communicate with their members. As such, it's part extranet and part web
site.
Tomlinson and Associates came to Intellinet Interactive looking for an inexpensive
fully content managed site. I designed and built this site around Intellinet's
pre-packaged CMS components.
The city of Sterling needed a new site that streamlined access to their considerable
content yet worked around their legacy CMS. After cataloguing and reorganizing
the content and site architecture, I designed the site around their existing
logo and CMS limitations. To help manage design and html updates, the site
relies extensively on Dreamweaver templates.
The association loved this design I built around their existing logo and
content.
The design reflects Meurer's specialty in water engineering projects.

Scott Takes a Shortcut - Quicktime movie
Digital cameras are fun. After a surprisingly quick hike up Mt. Sherman, my friend Scott and I decided we could do more with the experience. With a little editing and image manipulation, I put together this goofy short to commemorate the climb.

A 3d animation of gears I created for a scrapped version of this site. It
becomes hypnotic after a while.
Octane Coffee - Quicktime movie
Necessity is the mother of invention. I put this together for a project at the Art Institute. As sole actor, cameraman, editor, and producer, I think it shows ingenuity and a clever concept. It's also fun.

I primarily design web sites but also enjoy print projects.
I typically do it in Studio 8, CS2, and a comfy pair of khaki's.
Take a look at my resumé
.
I've worked with the Colorado Trust, Denver Regional Council of Governments, the Bighorn Center, the city of Winter Park, and Hall & Evans among others.
How did I get here?
Design is a second career for me. After doodling in the margins through countless
management meetings, working with a web designer during an IT stint, and
a road trip through the southwest, I decided to return to school to study
design in 2000. As there were no design schools in Austin, I moved to Denver.
I've been working with agencies and as a freelancer ever since.
If you're looking for a less existential answer, I walked down the hall, through the doorway into my office.
What sets me apart from other designers?
Modesty of epic proportions. If they were to erect a colossal monument
to modesty, it would feature me.
What should you know about me?
- I am for hire.
- Design blows my skirt up, even while wearing khaki's.
- I'm quiet without being particularly shy.
- For visual impact, nothing beats the judicious use of Flash except elegant simplicity.
- My sense of humor ranges from martini dry sarcasm to goofball with little transition or warning.
- I prefer honest feedback. It has the highest content of useful information.
- Curiosity killed the cat, but so far I've escaped serious injury.
- I love books, travel, the mountains, black coffee, and at the moment the idea of a road trip.
- I do all my left brain thinking on my right side and vice versa. It tingles.
- For a variety of reasons, you'll enjoy working with me.
What else should you know?
If you're really curious or just want to see photos of places I've been,

What shouldn't you know about me?
umm...
