2010 certainly has been a roller coaster year. After only a short 6 months with Semantic Design, I came to realize we each wanted very different things from each other, and I decided to throw in the towel before there could be any long lasting damage. It was a hard decision, but I feel it was for the best.
I took some time to really weigh my options, and it’s been a long time coming, but after very careful deliberation I have decided to open up shop for myself! It’s taken me some time to figure out how I want to position myself and put an updated website together, but the day is finally here: Vectorthis 5.0 is live and I am officially open for business and looking for new contract work.

If you haven’t already, drop by the Portfolio and check out some of my latest works, or Drop me a line right now!

Stay tuned for more updates in the future.
