I am a creator, I love to make things. I am competitive. I want to be the best at everything I do. There are some things I know and some things I don’t.

My friends
call me AMac

I've lived in San Antonio, TX most of my life, minus a brief stay in Austin to chase down a creative advertising degree from the University of Texas.

These days, I can be found working as a designer for Amazee Labs, a website development company out of Zürich, Switzerland. Our team specializes in crafting Drupal-based solutions for community websites.

When not at work work, I like to work on my house and my golf swing. And when I feel like being completely unproductive, I curl up with a good TV show.

I assure you I'm not vain, but over the years I've collected a few pictures of myself, the only subject I could find with the patience to sit with me as I fumbled through the fundamentals of photography. Here's a few outtakes. image2 image3 image4 image5

On Design

Show me a good designer and I’ll show you one who wants to be better. I try to get better every day.

My goals for every new project are to 1) create a beautiful and useful website that is 2) better than the last and 3) reflects the passion I have for the creative process.

It's been over a year since my first attempt to design this site. Countless restarts and four complete homepage designs later, I think I've got it (for now). Here's how I got it done.
