My First Short Story
While the fine art has taken something of a back seat for the last few years, when I put down the paint brush, I picked up the pen and completed a short story I had begun a long time ago. I recently self-published it as a Kindle book and paperback. It’s a short read at about 90 minutes if you can read it straight through. It’s definitely not my most accessible writing, but it is a deeply personal thing that I am quite proud of. From the Amazon listing:
A chance encounter with a mysterious old man becomes the small, strange hinge on which two lives turn. Willem, a wandering writer, treats big ideas like curios to be examined, until those ideas collide with the real, messy work of living. Ellene, his lifelong friend, listens differently: she sees what Willem can’t and offers the kind of clarity that arrives not from theory but from attention.
Willem & Ellene is compact and richly textured. It balances curiosity and tenderness, tackling serious themes without losing its sense of humor or its faith in the small, human moments that make meaning possible.
Communicating Your Brand and Vision
I care deeply about design that communicates clearly, functions intuitively, and looks good without getting in the way. My work draws on years of experience with color and composition from my background in painting, a genuine love of typography, and a solid understanding of modern responsive design standards.
I enjoy collaboration and listening to different perspectives in order to shape them into a website, logo, or piece of marketing that feels cohesive and true to the client. My goal is always to create work that expresses a clear message, reflects the identity of the business or organization, and adds a bit of beauty to the world.
I’m not taking on freelance projects at the moment, but I can be reached through MBA Team via Boston Web Designers or NH Web Designers.
