Gave a presentation at Custom Building Products today! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my 6 1/2 years of contract work with them. Just feels good to walk into a client’s office and be greeted with big smiles and warm “hey how yea doing” comments.

The first quarter of 2010 has been professionally satisfying!
Just launched a small one-off site for my client of 6 years, Custom Building Products, www.CustomTVIS.com.
Here is a drafted version of the scope docs: CBP_TVIS_SitemapWireframes_Draftv2.2 And yes, the site is a bit different from my last version of this doc but I will refer to the lesson learned while selling shoes at Nordstrom, (yes, I was a shoe dog back in the day) the customer is always right!
The CustomTVIS site is my design. I developed it in PHP, MySQL and Flash.
On to the next project of redesign and redevelopment of their Jamo brand site, www.JamoInc.com. Plus a push of new products to their flagship site which I have maintained for 6 years, CustomBuildingProducts.com.
Thank you Custom for the work! I am proud of the years I’ve spent collaborating with your marketing team!
This project was quite a success!
While I was the director of digital media for the AVN Media Network (2007 – 2009), I often rolled up my sleeves and scoped projects myself, as well as front-end dev and project management. We ran so lean, it was just easier to spend a few weeks of late nights rather than tax an already taxed team.
