Apple now has almost $100 billion in cash reserves, and that’s over and above the wealth stored in their company, patents, building ownership etc. Just $100 billion to throw around.

The old adage suggests that if your business can last five years, it has “made” it. As I look back, it’s cool to see how the business has evolved. I believe today we have a much more focused, expert approach to the way we approach design and marketing for clients…a good reflection of that is the new site (you’re looking at right now) launched a couple weeks ago. One of the primary reasons I started my own company was to serve clients the way I wanted…I sincerely believe that if I treat every client with utmost respect and deliver an outstanding experience (not just a design job) there will always be future opportunities to work with amazing people. I am fiercely loyal to great clients…and frankly, I don’t need to work with any other kind! :)

I can’t say thank you enough to all the awesome clients I’ve gotten to know over the past five years…and I look forward to many more to come…and if you’re reading this and it hasn’t been my pleasure to meet you yet, give me a call…I’ll make you a rockstar!

I ran across this list recently that, while intended to be humorous, does give valid insight into what drives creative people. Enjoy!

I wanted the site to be flexible (an easy-to-use content management system), visually stunning (if not a tad bit cheeky) and portray a message that resonates with my existing clients AND my target audience. I think I’ve achieved all three goals and am really excited to get this new site launched. Drop me a line! Let me know what you think. Enjoy!!!
