I don't just build websites.

I'll take your identity, target your goals, and get people to you. Plus it will look good and work.

My name is Anthony and I'm a Web and Graphic Designer living in San Diego. This page is representative of my philosophy; it's not too flashy, & is easy to use. It does not try to reinvent the wheel for the sake of being different, but does not rely on trite trends either.

My marketing background helps me understand the overall goal of the project, whether it is selling a service, providing information to the customer, or building brand strength. I have a strong interest in interactive content & believe that there are few things more beautiful than information presented in an easy-to-grasp, eye-catching way that helps users absorb the content. I am always expanding my influences & toying with new styles, but if I had to choose, some of my favorite styles are influenced by a variety of sources from vintage advertising & packaging, to 1980's punk rock, to simple, minimalist designs.

When I'm not working on projects, I'm cooking, playing sports, spending time with my fiance, and arguing over whether or not baseball needs a salary cap. So what are you waiting for? Send me an email!
