<p>Shane is an administrator at the high school in Iowa where I graduated. We originally began talking about the possibilities of his website at my sister&#8217;s rainy softball game. A few months went by and we connected again to get down to business. Shane and his wife, Natalie had just recorded a new album with some big name Country music producers and were looking for a way to get their music out to the world. I was happy to help them out and wish them much success. Check out <a title="ShaneandNatalieBrown" href="http://www.shaneandnatalie.com/" target="_blank">Shane and Natalie Brown &#8211; Country Gospel Music Ministry</a> for the final site.</p>

<p>The initial conversation about Hallowed Ground Ministries took place late at night on Facebook. I was new to Facebook and was weighing the pros and cons of having an account and this definitely justified it. Even though Co-Founder, Brian Smith and I have been friends for quite a few years, he wasn&#8217;t aware of my work or my skills. After showing him a couple links, he was sold. If someone was going to be building him a website, it would be me. I was happy to work with everyone at Hallowed Ground Ministries and it was a fun project for me. It was a change of pace for me and my clean style of design (at least I think that&#8217;s what I have). It gave me a chance to take on my dirtier, grungy side and I loved every second of it. Head over to <a title="HallowedGroundMinistries" href="http://www.hallowedgroundministries.com" target="_blank">Hallowed Ground Ministries</a> to check out the final site.</p>

<p>Lace Image originally contacted me about redesigning their site in the summer of 2008. Nothing ever came about those initial conversations until I got engaged and needed a wedding photographer. As my bride to be and I were trying to cut costs, I decided to barter services with Lace. I don&#8217;t think it could have worked out better. We got excellent pictures that we&#8217;re so happy with and she got a site that satisfied her needs. Thanks again, Lace.</p>

<p>Tempe Chamber Monthly Postcard</p>
<p>Tempe Chamber is my longest standing client, I&#8217;ve been working with them for over 3 years (crazy!!). They recently went through a digital transition with a lot of their marketing materials. Instead of doing a printed monthly newsletter, they wanted to send out a mailer describing their upcoming events. I turned up the funk and went a little wild with this one (compared to many of their pieces). I wanted to be sure that anyone who got this in the mail, wouldn&#8217;t just throw it away without at least glancing at it. I think I did my job!</p>
