Welcome to my site

Hi, I am a graphic design, web design, and audio design professional. I've been studying and working in my field for more than 8 years now, and have my BFA in graphic design. I've worked for multiple companies, even internationally. My experience ranges from magazine and trade show exhibition design, to music and freelance web design, to video player and as3 development.

Experience that counts!

With over 8 years experience in web and graphic design, I provide professional, on-task, and on-time designs. I have a keen sense for space, balance, aesthetics, and design making me the perfect professional for all your web design needs. Here is a testimonial from one of my customers:

"Casey is every employer's ideal resource - he's talented but is constantly improving his skills and knowledge base; he doesn't need to be managed - you give him the task and he gets it done on time and better than expected; he's loyal too and supportive of his colleagues; he has a strong entrepreneurial instinct matched with execution abilities; and he can multi-task on a broad range of items because he has one of the broadest and deepest new media skill sets I've come across. Casey can think, rationalize and reason without being combative. Rare commodities today."

Photoshop - I have completed many tasks in photoshop, including batch image processing, effects, photo path clipping, brush creation, pre-flighting, rasterization, etc. I used photoshop daily to do color adjustments, and make visually creative graphics / layouts.

Indesign - I have done many tasks with Adobe's indesign. Including taking a database, converting it to xml using MS Access, and then importing the database info in as a graphic template that is visually readable and appealing. All within minutes. I have also created style sheets, and have created many brochure, direct mail, magazine, and catalog layouts. As well, I am able to use the pre-flight tools while checking for spot colors, and other costly printing mistakes.

Flash - I have used flash extensively, including Flash video player, audio player, and application creation using both actionscript 2 or 3. Includes use of flash components such as the datagrid, tile list, or scrolling text box components. As well, I have created menu systems, and applied animations and visually creative effects. Including code based effects.

Dreamweaver - I have used Dreamweaver as my primary web layout tool for quite some time. I create websites using custom css divs, and overlays. I like using either JQuery for animation, or sometimes flash. Depending on the breadth of project or need. As well, I like to create custom css text styles that can speed up web design, and create a cohesive, unififed brand.

Illustrator - I have designed vector logos, ads, graphics, and have even managed some basic animation in illustrator. I love logo creation in illustrator, as rendering the graphics is clean, scalable, and easily editable using the direct select tool, or the path tool.

Javascript - I have done very basic javascript effects, rendered xml, and used javascript libraries such as JQuery for animation. Javascript is also useful for writing repetitive functions, or code blocks, while also extending the capabilities of basic web design. As well, I have ventured into Aspx forms in sharepoint, as well as basic web forms, radio buttons, component buttons, etc.
