Hello, friend! My name is Brock, and I'm an award-winning, versatile, creative, and technical director based out of Minneapolis, MN. I have a decade of experience designing and developing brand-sensible web campaigns for a growing array of brands, including 3M, Adobe, Allianz, Kodak, Microsoft, Symantec, and Target.

I specialize in both the design and development of unique, interactive websites with a focus on web standards compliance, scalability, and user accessibility. I also enjoy dabbling in print design, motion design and animation, identity design, social media, and audio production.

My clients get all the benefits of an agency with none of the cons. Whereas an agency's goal is to get as many contracts and push them through as fast as possible, I never work on more than two projects at a time, so you're guaranteed my full attention.

Furthermore, unlike agencies, my multi-faceted set of skills removes the need for your project to be passed around amongst a dozen different heads, resulting in a tighter project with fewer loose ends, with no time wasted on administrative overhead.

Perhaps, the largest advantage is that my clients get to interact directly with the guy working on their baby. No project managers, no lost-in-translation hassles, no more "Let me ask around and get back to you on that." It's just me.

And with my 2-project policy, you don't need to schedule a time later in the week to talk; if it's convenient for you, it's convenient for me. Plus, with my rate coming in at nearly half of your typical big agency's rate, you don't need to worry about retainers and gigantic budgets.

I'd love for you to touch base, so we can chit-chat about your project and all the ideas, goals, questions, and concerns that you've got swirling around in that grand head of yours. Bounce them off me, and let's see if we're a good fit. I'm looking forward to it.

Question and answer

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Firstly: I'm here to solve your problem, so don't worry about coming to me when you haven't figured out all the details yet. With all my experience, I can be a priceless asset long before your project goes into production.

Secondly: don't worry about needing to know what all the latest fancy-pants buzzwords you're hearing mean. I'm here to solve your problem, but I'm also here to teach. The better I am at communicating the intricacies of my craft to you, the better you can appreciate the end result.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. Dealing with agencies can be an extremely impersonal and frustrating experience. Hurried work, miscommunication, a lack of thorough quality assurance, and internal delays— these are all realities of agency work. They're more focused on pushing as much work as possibly through the pipeline than they are concerned about nurturing a strong relationship with one particular client.
