Why Crafty Pixel is Different
What makes an effective website? To start, you'll definitely need more than pretty pictures and HTML. A rare combination of technical aptitude, corporate communications experience and a real design education is what has set Crafty Pixel apart, contributed to our success and added value for our clients.

Design Education & Corporate Experience
After working in technical engineering and computer positions for 8 years, I decided to explore my passion for visual imagery. I completed UCLA's 3-year Computer Graphics program where I was taught by industry masters and in 1998, I started Crafty Pixel as a part-time digital imaging operation. That led to a career in corporate web design and management where I managed a web design team and various corporate web projects.

The Success of Crafty Pixel
I relinquished my parking spot on the 91 freeway, left the corporate world and expanded Crafty Pixel to a full-time small business web site design and consulting company. Our design style, philosophy and prices seemed to be what small business owners were looking for—Crafty Pixel was a hit! So much so, that we were quickly overrun with clients! The only answer was to expand our business again—or maybe not...

Here and Now
I take pride in our reputation for clean design and ethical business practices. However, rather than continue to grow in size to meet the market demand, I built a network of Southern California web design firms with ethical reputations that I can rely on to deliver a quality client experience—an experience that I'm hoping will restore the community's faith in web designers and help you succeed.
