Back in Business: Wauconda Web Designer

It’s been a while since my last blog post—life, work, and school have kept me plenty busy. I’ve been on a bit of a sabbatical, working with a small but wonderful group of clients, relocating to Illinois, and pushing forward in my education. Not to mention getting engaged and spending the summer having outdoor adventures with my fiancée and my two soon-to-be step kids.

But now? I’m officially opening up my books to take on more graphic design and website projects. If you’re looking for a Wauconda Web Designer who’s local, invested in community, and brings a mix of creativity and technical skill—you’ve found me.

What I Do

I wear two hats: graphic designer and front-end web developer. That means I don’t just make things look good—I make them work.

Some of the tools and skills I bring to the table include:

• Graphic Design: Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, and more

• Web Design & Development: Responsive websites built on WordPress, Wix, or custom code (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)

• Branding: Logos, posters, business cards, and complete visual identity systems

• Digital Marketing Support: SEO best practices, web content optimization, and even Google Workspace setup

• User Experience: Because pretty websites are pointless if nobody can figure out how to use them.

  
  

Why Not Fiverr? (a.k.a. Don’t Get Catfished by a Template)

Sure, you could pay someone on Fiverr $50 to make you a logo. But here’s the tea: You get me, not a random “designer” with a template library.

• I understand local business. Having worked with Wisconsin and Illinois clients across industries, I know how to create designs that connect with your community.

• It’s not just about the now. I focus on building assets that grow with you—websites that are scalable, designs that can adapt as your brand expands.

• Education + experience. 

  • I was certified in Graphic Design and Web Design in 2023 AAS

  • I’m currently completing my Bachelor of Applied Science in Graphic Information Technology (graphic design meets coding and )—a program that blends technical know-how with creative strategy. That means I’m always up-to-date with current design and development practices.

    
    

With me, you get a real designer who listens, asks questions, and builds something that actually grows with your business. Never again pay for a logo and end up paying extra to get the files you need per job. Never again pay for a website and you get locked out of and have to scrap just years later.

The Extra Credit Stuff

I’m also working on finishing my Bachelor of Applied Science in Graphic Information Technology (a fancy way of saying “technical graphic design degree”), which keeps me sharp and up-to-date. Combine that with years of experience, and you’ve got someone who can flex both the creative and nerdy muscles to get the job done right.

I'm ready!

Let’s Make Something Great

If you’ve been putting off updating your website, need a new logo, or just want to finally get your digital act together — now’s the time.

I’m back, I’m caffeinated, and I’m ready to design.
