Looking for Freelance Web Design Projects
Posted on
September 10, 2009
Looks like projects are beginning to slow down so I wanted to put out a call for assistance so to speak. Any leads or freelance projects sent my way will be greatly appreciated, no matter how small. I’d be more than happy to put together a cost estimate for any web design / development project. If you know of anyone thinking of starting up an online e-commerce business or just in need of a site redesign send them my way.
Thanks for your help in advance everyone. If any lead opportunities need to see work, skills or online portfolio send them over to MyNameIsDamien.com and from there they can simply fill out the Freelance Request for a Quote and I’ll get back to them as soon as possible.
My New Business Cards are In!

Yesterday after the gym my new business cards finally arrived via UPS. I ordered them from UPrinting.com and they came out great. Heavy gloss stock and at a good price as well. Not sure I really needed 1000 but hey, why not. It only costs a little over $30 for 1000, full color front and black back. Nice job guys.
I’ll probably reshoot them once I get more time.
MyNameIsDamien.com – Site Redesign
Posted on
May 21, 2009
With the extra time I’ve been spending more and more time updating and polishing my online portfolio site in order to increase my odds of actually surviving this economic downturn. The site is a primary means of gathering possible freelance clientele and/or landing a new position as a Senior Designer/Developer at a South Florida web design firm.
The site includes examples of my work both in the design and development realms as well as planning and site maintenance projects. A full skill-set and resume are also included.
There are still quite a few adjustments that need to be made to the site but I am enjoying the direction it’s currently moving and I’m constantly working hard to better the site.
Busy and Thinking Positive

Whew, the last week has been busy, exciting and overall pretty positive. I must apologize for the lack of updates over the last week, my focus has been set primarily on getting things done, projects, personal projects and networking.
Freelance estimates are out, projects are coming in and I’m happy. I’m determined to make the best of this situation and do more than just stay afloat. It’s time to do something really great with my life, nothing breeds motivation like necessity.
So, in the interim this blog may suffer a bit as far as daily updates, but stay tuned on my Twitter feed if you long for a day in the life of Damien. I’ll be linking up professional articles, new projects as well as what kind of oatmeal I had this morning (well, may not but you the idea).
Also, if any of you out there know someone who needs some web help, by all means send them over to my portfolio site. If a project comes out of a referral I’ll see what I can do about setting up a finders fee-like payment.
Alright, 8:14 and it’s time to get to it. Stay tuned!
The New Landing Page

I’ve never been a big fan of landing pages, especially when it comes to SEO (search engine optimization) but in this case it’s a worthwhile sacrifice. I really needed an easy way to separate my personal from my profession life. This has become very important since I hope to meeting people and networking around so there may be people out there looking me up for freelance and employment positions. So, here comes the landing page.
I must apologize to my readers for the extra click to get into the blog but it’s a necessary evil at this point. There’s so much of myself on this blog I don’t want it to hinder my moving forward in my career any more than it has to. So I may be censoring myself a bit more than usual but it’s for a good cause.
As for how things are going as a full-time freelance designer, so far they’re pretty good. My friends in L.A. are sending me work and keeping me busy, which is awesome. Thanks guys!
My mindset is positive and I’m moving forward and thus far all of my friends have been extremely supportive and encouraging.
So if you visit the blog often just book mark this link and you’ll be dropped right on my blog.

About
I'm a seasoned 33 year old web designer originally from Cincinnati (born in Wilmington) and now living in West Palm Beach. I specialize in high-end PHP and CSS sites as well as fully functional Wordpress and E-commerce sites for various clients.
Even though I'm from Ohio I'm a die hard South Florida Surfer and beach guy. I picked up the sport over five years ago and never looked back. Any chance I get I'm in the water, which is sometimes rare considering that South Florida is fairly inconsistent with surf. Those days we do get are always a great gift.
The blog itself is primary here to communicate with family and friends. If you're looking for my professional site you can go to http://www.mynameisdamien.com/ for a full resume, portfolio and blog.
