My passion for web and print design began in the mid-90s as a hobby and soon blossomed into a career. I am an interaction designer at Digitas and previously worked as an information architect for RDVO and as the web and publications manager for Trinity Church Boston. I have a B.A. in Visual and Media Arts from Emerson College. I also have a clothing line called pinkSQRL and am an electro pop musician under the name Michael Hensley.

In addition to working with over a dozen freelance clients, I have done agency work for numerous clients including Buick, Kodak, Duracell, Microsoft,Tide, Downy, Home Depot, Delta, and GE.

Coding languages: XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP

Skills: wireframes, site maps, usability testing

I believe in design as a method to enhance communication. It should be clear, direct, and usable. I specialize in working with small organizations to make great designs without great cost.

When you work with me, we'll go through three steps to create the best design for your project.

1. Research - set goals, analyze your current materials, and see what others are doing in the field
2. Design - explore initial design concepts, establish overall structure, and iterate based on feedback
3. Implement - collaborate to finalize content, create code (or print-ready document), and deploy to your audience

So how much do projects cost? Since every project is customized for each client, the cost of each will vary. A small project like a postcard or an email newsletter may be just a few hundred dollars, while most website redesigns end up in the four figure range. I will always give a free estimate after establishing the scope of your project.
