about
hi there
I am a Raleigh-Durham based web and interactive media designer. I’ve designed, produced and directed online media projects for Bridgestone, SESAC, The Documentary Channel, Gameznflix, The Shop At Home Network, Gaylord Entertainment, STR Global and others. I focus on effective graphic design, usability and engaging multimedia presentation. Currently freelancing, I keep myself busy collaborating with web design agencies, publishing agencies and software development agencies.
regarding this site
This site was built with valid XHMTL, CSS, the 960 grid system, a lot of non-photo blue and maybe just a tad too much Helvetica. It is published with Expression Engine and resides at Media Temple.
people say nice things
“William is a very creative and extremely focused on solving the creative and technical challenges he’s presented with. He is not afraid to question, challenge or counterpropose in the interest of improved design or functionality. He consistently meets deadlines and exceeds expectations. I would recommend him for any website development project.”
— Michael Fluck, Brand Marketing Manager , Bridgestone Americas
“I greatly enjoy working with William and we have used him for many of our web design/development projects. Not only is William a great designer, but he also has a real understanding of what works ON the web. Beyond designing web pages, he also has a real knack for Flash animation - taking a simple idea and making it really pop on the web. He is very focused on delivering great customer service to his clients. On top of his skills, he is bright, funny and a real treat to work with!”
— Nicole Provonchee, Vice President, Parthenon Publishing
“William has the unique ability to understand what I looking to accomplish without having to get complete directions. The less instruction I give, the better the result. He is not afraid to toss out an idea, and less afraid to toss that idea away if it does not work. His talents are quite an asset.”
— Chris McLaurin, Director of IT, Direct Connect Solutions
“I have worked with William on several projects over the past 9 years. His ability to create incredibly tasty UI designs mixed with his seemingly endless knowledge of the Web and related technologies makes him an extremely valuable addition to any Web project. In addition, William is able to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical people. He is also a great friend and fantastic musician.”
— Colin Callahan, .NET Programmer and Colleague
