Latest Work - Velocity Financial

Well I thought I would start writing about some of the projects I've been working on lately and some design topics that I'm interested in since that is part of who I am.  Maybe this will help you get to know me a little better.  

Above is a portion of a design of a site for one of our clients at Red Olive, Velocity Financial.  They're a Financial Investment Firm dedicated to helping people like me succeed in the investment world. I wish I  had money to invest. They were one of the best clients to work for because they knew exactly what they wanted yet they gave me plenty of creative freedom to not feel like I was some mechanical designer robot carrying out their every demand.  I got most of my inspiration for this project from a computer company call Grace PC done by a fellow designer of mine named Eric Russell who runs a studio named Lucid Creative. I love his work. 

I'll work for a client like Velocity Financial any day.  Thanks for the opportunity guys. 

Becoming Home

This is our new house. What do ya think?


Our porch needs some work. The kids love to play outside.


We have two varieties of flora; the tulip and the dandelion. So far they are tied in population.

Craving Music

The radio is taunting me, "Listen between 6am and 6pm and you can win tickets to see Jason Mraz in HAWAII." As they play all of my favorite Jason Mraz songs, I am somewhere between weeping and strangling the radio. I know I have a zero percent chance of winning a trip to anywhere, let alone a tropical island. It's just cruel to put ads like that on the radio.

In Bowmans (grocery store), the other day, I saw the poster advertising Davis High School's upcoming Prom. They are finally back at the Utah State Capitol for the first time since 2003, and their theme is "You Have Stolen My Heart." (An amazing song by the band Dashboard Confessionals.) Davis always picks a song to be the theme for each dance, and normally they are terribly lame. But I have to admit I got a little jealous of all those little Davis girls, this prom. Picking out their dresses, getting all excited, riding to the capital to dance to Dashboard. Sometimes I really miss High School.

So I'll do the best I can. Pop in my Jason Mraz or Dashboard Confessionals CD, put on my headphones, and drown out reality. I might just imagine myself at the Prom. If I imagine REALLY hard, I could even end up in Hawaii. Oh I am craving music. Like the deserts miss the rain, I tell ya.
