Principal / Integrated Visual Communications

Hallo! If you are reading this, then you are in the right place - you are visiting this service portion of the StudioBast site, and are most likely interested in me for freelance or independent contract projects.

Objective

My goal is to help you succeed with cost-effective concept, design and production of marketing, publication & web projects - within your budget and timelines. I aim to make our workflow easy, enjoyable, and stress-free. Here's what I do that can help push your visual communications to the next level:

Web Design/Production: I design concepts, wireframe layouts, build working prototypes, code by hand, produce fully-functioning static and semi-dynamic web sites, team up on dynamic/database-driven web projects, and build/plug-in minor dynamic web applications and CMS sites.

Print Design/Production: I design/produce print anything. I produce comps, work with bluelines, handle content and graphics, do project prepress, and make the final project happen so we can touch and ooh-and-ahh over it.

Project Management: I streamline & improve workflow and projects, am customer-centered, always design toward the business plan, and focus on usability. I like to guide projects and work with people, so we all get the credit and have fun. I have also worked many projects and contracts alone, with sensitive budgets, no supervision, and an unerring ability to make it happen fast, right, and within budget.

I handle independent work as StudioBast through the WA State corporation Bast Media, Inc. Please feel free to check out our information on how we handle projects.
