The past few weeks I’ve been logging long hours in hopes of getting my portfolio up to date. I’m not going to say that I’m 100% there, BUT… I do have a new site up with some new work, some old work that I never published, and some new takes on some old work, too.
As I’m always trying to improve things, please take a look around and then maybe come back and let me know what you think… what’s working? where could I improve?
check it out here.

In February, I was contacted by a company here in Provo called InsideSales.com. They create software (dialer type software and crazy efficiency-boosting applications) for sales people that kind of help change and redefine the paradigm of what sales is and how it is done. While not the job I would have sought out on my own—in-house was never really my thing—their story and product was really compelling and I felt that there was a lot of potential to do some great design work and help grow the company.
We’re about 9 months into this experiment and we’re starting to see some of the fruits of our labors blossom and hit the public. I figured this would be an appropriate time to show a bit more of the brand than what I have in the past. So here are a few more finished pieces to take a look at. I’d love to hear any feedback, as it’s a very foreign design style to me.
Main homepage… We did a photoshoot with Jonathan Canlas a couple months ago and the banner here features an amazingly talented Rhyan Atrice, from Urban Talent up in Salt Lake.
This is a report engine application (sitting within the black frame) designed a few months back. I’m pretty pleased with the outcome, considering the incredible amount of data that needs to be displayed and the constraints of html programming.
I have a few more pieces I’ll show after the jump. (more…)

I’ve been working with Aveda for over three years now, starting as an intern back in New York in ‘06 and continuing as a steady freelancer ever since. They’re a really great company—both from a business model and the integrity it entails to the people they employ—and I’ve really enjoyed my relationship with them. Every once in a while I get to work on something to help develop their visual identity, rather than simply follow guidelines and I think that’s quite a bit of fun. Recenty they asked me to create a video player page for them that I thought turned out pretty well. Here’s a screenshot of what it should look like once it goes live.

It’s been almost a year and a half since I started working with Jonathan Canlas—a renowned film photographer from Utah. After admiring his images from afar for some time, it was a great opportunity to get in and work with them. Since then, we’ve produced the Film is Not Dead website, the Film is Not Dead workbook (images coming soon both here and on my site), we’ve rebranded him, created an updated portfolio site, and another promotional book (again, I’ll have images of that up here soon)—not to mention various collateral and pdfs and so on and on.
Today, information on Jon’s Film is Not Dead 3 workshop was announced and will be held in beautiful San Francisco this coming July. If you’re into photography and you want to learn a TON—check it out.
And, Jon— thanks for letting me explore my creative vision along side yours.

In spite of not publishing anything in a while, I’ve been relatively busy here at SquatterStudios. All my summer projects have wrapped up and I should have photos to post in the coming days/weeks.
Also, my website is up. It’s been up for quite a while (you may have noticed) but with no content. I’m actually working on changing that right now—as opposed to saying I’m doing it online, but really not even thinking about it. Currently, I have a good portion of three different projects up there. It may not be hot-off-the-press new work, but at least something is there.
And, last—for today—Jonathan Canlas has finally launched his updated site, wrapping up a summer-plus of grueling work for him, which we’re both very excited about. I hope to have some pictures of the books I designed for him by late next week. As for today, though, Just the website. Take a gander. Dane Hansen—as always—did the masterful flash work.
