Who is this guy?

Hi! My name is David Suriano and I'm a freelance designer with over 7 years of experience in various fields of visual communications including website design, graphic design, logo design, print design and user interface design. I'm currently located in the beautiful state of California near the greater San Francisco Bay area.

How can he help me?

Whether you're with an established marketing agency looking to outsource a few creative design projects or you're simply a lone individual with a good idea in need of a polished professional design without breaking the bank, I have the skill set and design resources to get your job done right the first time, on time and within budget.

What can I expect from him as my designer?

Simple, clean and professional designs that are specifically targeted towards your end user demographic. I work equally well as part of a design team or acting as the lead designer. I understand the importance of communication in design and how to simply and effectively use it to deliver your message to its intended audience.

Does he only do design?

While the majority of my clients use me to create their visual solutions for website design, graphic design or user interface design, I maintain a firm grasp on current web standards and coding practices in order to produce accessible, search engine friendly XHTML / CSS. I've also been known to dabble in a few javascript libraries such as Prototype and jQuery, a few blogging and CMS platforms such as Wordpress, ExpressionEngine, Drupal, and Exponent as well as a slew of random applications for Mac, PC, and mobile platforms.

Website Graphic Design - Flagship

I designed the front-end of this website for a services firm whose aim was to promote their products and incorporate a company blog.

After learning they were undecided on the website structure, but knew they wanted a "business professional" look and that it would use WordPress, I came up with a concept that was optimized for easy CMS integration as well as fast page loading various monitor resolutions.

This front-end website design was for a small photo blog that was focused on delivering 1-2 featured photos per day.

Website Graphic Design - Kitchen Cooked

Kitchen Cooked is a family owned snack company located near Central Illinois. They craft small batches of the most delicious kettle chips you've ever tasted, but their default osCommerce website left quite the opposite taste in customers mouths.

After our creative brief, I designed the front-end to be "eye-catching" while including company branding and advertising their best selling products. They fell in love with the new design, and I did it all without ever meeting face-to-face.

Website Graphic Design - Jake Blackhurst

With a brand new race car and hankering for a website redesign, Team Blackhurst approached me and said "Here's a photo we want to use and our team colors are blue and silver."

Armed with nothing more than a picture and those words, I set out to create a delicious website design using an asphalt textured background stacked high with metallic elements coated in custom carbon fiber, and topped with a flashy Photoshop'd race car. A recipe sure to please any kid and his friends (AND it did!)
