Greetings! Speak friend & enter.

Just kidding, I don't guard my website with an Elvish password. I'd rather we be friends and talk in a language I actually know. Which at this point would be English, HTML, CSS, or Buzzword.

I make my living making things for people to use. Since people use websites a lot these days, websites are primarily what I make for them. And I make them look nice. (Or try my best to, at least.) Been doing it for a while now, I guess; half a decade in Internet years seems like eons, but who is counting?

Making websites, in turn, has made me get my hands dirty with things such as *deep breath*: art directing, front-end development, creative strategy, conversion optimization, search engine optimization, social media marketing, online reputation management, mobile marketing, rapid prototyping, lead generation, expensive coffee drinking, binge carbohydrate eating, all-night working, Darth Vader costuming and counterfactual history pontification. Having-the-time-of-my-life is included in all the above.

All those fancy words leave me with quite the identity crisis when it comes to people asking what I do. (I dislike the term "web guy" very much.) So in short cleverly written sentences:

I design.

I direct.

I communicate.

I consult.

I like turtles.

That's about it. If you'd like to do business with me or would just like to connect in this superficial world of the World Wide Web, I'm sure you can find a way in a few clicks.

Thanks for reading my ramblings, friend!

Andrew
