- About Me
- I am a web developer, musical instrument designer and marketing consultant. I'm a full-time member of the graphic design faculty at Miami International University of Art and Design. I also play jazz guitar, restore watches and I lived aboard a sailboat for 15 years. I believe marketing is most successful when it offers something beautiful, funny, inspiring or engaging. There really are honest, inspiring clients out there so I do not create "beautiful lies" for my living. I love my work.
- Areas of Expertise
- Visual Communications. I love Flash from both a design and programming perspective. I balance tradition and innovation, design and technology and am always looking for creative approaches that challenge cliché marketing techniques. I also provide copy writing services.

- Work History
- I've had my own company since 1995 - back when people still thought "internet" was a hair product. . Worked with everyone from Fortune 100s to Mom 'n Pops. I hate name-droppers who list all the big clients they got subcontracted to work for. Contact me if you feel a list of recognizable names will somehow make my work more legitimate to you and I can provide real references. Otherwise, look at my work and be confident that whatever I do for you will look nothing like anything I've ever done before.

- What Services Can You Offer Adgabber Members?
- User interface and design consulting,
Technical production work on impossible, innovative projects.
Naming and strategic marketing.
Inspirational presentations for corporate groups looking for a fresh perspective on how to market themselves and how to be market-worthy.
I build immersive, engaging website designs and write the code that drives them.
Counter-consulting. On large projects, it makes sense to call in a large consulting firm. However, like any other contractor, they will make more money if they can resell you a customized version of an application they've already created for another project. I work as a "disruptor" as part of the larger project planning and design process to keep things focussed purely on the end-goals and the creation of an ideal user experience.
- What Services Are You Looking For From AdGabber Members?
- Intelligent feedback. Exchange of ideas and perspectives on marketing.
My Work
Beyond Point and Click - My MFA Project Site about interactive design
Michael Dunn Guitars - Site for a Canadian Guitar builder that won Adobe Site of the Day and Flashloaded Showcase awards. Michael's instruments are very modernism-influenced and I've been a fan of his design work for years. It was an honor to create his site. The "angled" theme in the "spinning" guitar in the options section is my small design contribution to an instrument we called the "Double Whiskey" after a composition by Django Reinhardt.
Tony Vines Guitars - Another guitar site that won numerous awards. (By the way, I think most of this award stuff is horse shit).
Michael Keller Guitars - Site and logo for Minnesota luthier Michael Keller.
I had the inestimable pleasure of designing my own instrument and having it built by Michael Keller - a wonderful collaboration. See the instrument under construction here.
GetIntoMusicSchool.com - Site for a guitar professor who offers pre-auditions and lessons for guitarists wishing to apply to University music performance program.
Additionally, I have published a Flash Actionscript DVD course for 7 Hills Media, and provide consulting and design services in the pharmaceutical industry that I am not at liberty to share for contractual reasons.
I am currently working on a presentation related to marketing and am a full-time faculty member in the graphic design department at Miami International University of Art and Design.

My apologies for taking so long to get back to you. I gave up with IE and now use Firefox as my browser but my settings are such that I can't login to AdGabber... even with IE, I can't send messages for some bizarre reason.
Anyway, I'd love to work with you on this... how does your week look this week or next to have a chat? My office ph# is 877 252 9273... or if you are brighter than I (and/or with security settings that make communicating easier via social media... ironic, hey?!?) send me a message and we'll get this thing going.
Cheers
Carol
