Samples from Tricks, a light novel I attempt to work on in between computer jobs. Detail-oriented and produced almost entirely in Photoshop. Environments modeled in 3D and then traced.
VIEWCatchy and legible, with simple layouts and color. Write all original material, unless provided by the customer; paraphrased when necessary. Previews shown without bleeds.
VIEWDeveloped from scratch in Dreamweaver. Handle nameservers and FTP. Non-responsive at request of clients for expediency and cost. Links to live versions available in descriptions.
VIEWIn 2013, I was encouraged to advertise computer services in my parents' community newsletter, The Cascadian. At the time, I was an assistant manager of a Stevi B's, and believed the opportunity might get me into something a little more meaningful. Turns out, it did.
What can I help you with?
Being self-employed allows me to compete substantially with other firms. Without overhead, I charge competitively less than most retailers and shops, acquire components — some I have on-hand — more economically, and am better flexible to devote time to projects, sometimes afterhours, for faster turnaround. I gladly make house calls, resolve most issues within an hour, offer pickup and return, and remain transparent and informative throughout my work. As someone who does not believe in over or unnecessary spending, I work to develop pragmatic solutions that meet need while remaining within or under budget.
All labor performed and components sourced from personal inventory warrantied against defect for 30 days. Issues that rearise within one week will be reworked at no additional cost; all oversights addressed at my own personal expense. Problems I am thoroughly unable to resolve incurs no charge. Components acquired from third-parties warrantied by seller's policies at time of purchase. Note that while I do attempt to source new and unused parts from known retailers, the age of a system — especially one that is no longer manufactured — may require purchases elsewhere.
