High End Mountain Bike Graphic Design – Product Artwork
Not everything I design ends up on paper or on the web. Some projects are way more exciting that that. This is one of those projects.

Simtec Silicone Website 2007-2008
Simtec Silicone, an ISO 9001:2000 certified, Wisconsin based company that specializes in silicone parts for industrial and healthcare applications hired me in early 2007 to redesign their existing wesite.
