why dirty bird?
All Design, All the Time
I have a passion for design. I can’t get enough of it. I critique menus at restaurants; I judge billboards on road trips. I can’t help myself. I started Dirty Bird Design Works because 8 hours a day designing in the corporate world isn’t nearly enough. Dirty Bird Design Works is where I can be my most creative. I am constantly learning, acquiring new skills and utilizing them to create the most cutting edge design product for you
Whether you need a new web site, logo or print—or just want to update your current design situation
—you’ve come to the right place. Below you will find examples of my designs in various media. Feel free to use
the contact form to drop me a line and we'll get started on getting your design where it
needs to be.
web site design
The Web is Where it's At
The web is a major way businesses do business. The web contains a wide variety of sites—some good, some bad, and
some awful. Your web site’s appearance has a huge impact on the impression potential customers have about your business.
Does yours say professional or my wife's kid brother threw this together? Dirty Bird Design Works builds
XHTML/CSS valid sites from scratch everyday. We also build email templates that deliver to every in box every time–
regardless of email client or platform. We also offer mini-sites, landing pages, and banner ads.

print design
Dirty Bird Design Works is Passionate About Print
Print is tangible, print is lasting, print can be awe inspiring. Whether a full color ad or a 2-color business card, Dirty Bird Design Works will make you stand out from your competition. With that kind of impact, don’t you want the best?
logo design
A Logo is More Than Just a Mark ...
Your logo is a visual representation of what you and your company stand for—or at least it should be.
Logos help make you memorable, help you stand out from your competitors. Don't settle for a cheap templated logo you just plug
your name into. What does your current logo say about you?
Don’t you deserve a 100% hand crafted custom logo?
