Prior to that he was a faculty member at the Art Institute of California in Orange County, where he taught advanced courses in multimedia and web design and helped shape the curriculum.

When he’s not pursuing creative technology, Greg can be found playing his guitar in the office or gazing at a mountain range somewhere. He loves spending his summers visiting national parks with his family, including his wife, Miranda, and their two young daughters.

Nothing is impossible! At least that’s what our web developer says. Justin’s incredible talent, positive attitude and a willingness to take on any challenge mean we get to help our clients deliver a top-notch web experience.

Justin has worked with companies of all types and sizes, but one thing that connects all his work is his love of building things and solving problems. What’s most important in his process is to recognize that a website is often a customer’s first impression of a company. Sometimes it’s the only thing users see of a brand, so he knows it must be impeccable.

For Justin, good design means that users don’t really have to think about “navigating” a website. It easily flows from point A to B, without the potential of getting confused, lost or frustrated. He accomplishes this by putting himself in the shoes of the customer.

Justin is a graduate of Cal State University, Fullerton, with a BA in Communications. When he’s not working on web development, he loves being a kid with his son, gardening, jamming on his guitar or relaxing outside with a good book.
