It ultimately comes down to wanting to make the best product possible, but when you are working for yourself often ideas multiply… Continue reading Website Update, Part 2 (a Year Later)
Website Update
Back in 2002, the web was a fairly volatile place. Web standards had just been introduced and the internet was in flux with new coding strategies and methodologies.

About People
We recently completed this branding program, in association with DK Holland, for the Morningside Center for Social Responsisbility; a wonderful group who, among other things, foster conflict resolution in our school system.
