I am a web and graphic designer focused on web standards-oriented development. I currently live and work in Seattle, WA, USA. As a designer at Blue Flavor, I work on a wide variety of web and mobile projects.

I have been working full-time on the web since 1995. In addition to my work with Blue Flavor, I was the senior web designer at the award-winning Lawrence Journal-World, home of Django and Ellington. I have also worked at two major Universities in an effort to bring web standards to the education sector, and completed many freelance and contract jobs for varying clients.

The following is a small sampling of my work. I am not currently accepting freelance or contract jobs. If you wish to work with me, please contact Blue Flavor.

Testimonials

Jeff is an extremely talented designer with a good eye for grids, typography and colors. He also happens to be a pretty good Django developer, a combination which yields amazingly feature-rich web applications with great visual design to boot.

— Garrett Murray,

Jeff is an extremely sharp designer, with an amazing eye for detail and the technical chops to execute a great design with smart code to match. Jeff has an amazing attitude; he approaches everything he does as a challenge worth everything he’s got and his genuine enthusiasm encourages everyone else to do the same. It’s been a great experience working with Jeff at World Online.

— Wilson Miner,

Without Jeff’s influence, I don’t think I’d be in the stage of my career I’m in now. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Jeff’s voice on frameworks for designers and Django has inspired people the world over to not only create beautiful products through effective design, but actually create those beautiful products themselves. He’s sparked a new love for my job and that’s something that I could never fully repay him for.

— Bryan Veloso,

Jeff is an amazing designer and information architect. From his first project at World Online, turning a Photoshop mockup into a live site in a crazy short period of time, it was clear that his chops are first rate. He’s a pleasure and inspiration to work with and he’s going to leave a strong mark on the online news design industry.
