I specialize in custom website and graphic design: www.miratcreative.com.
Styles range from elegant to artsy, classic to sleek, corporate to cutting edge - but no matter what the style, the needs of the client always comes first. Each design created is unique, never generic or templated, and functionality is integral to every design. Twenty years of professional experience. Projects of all shapes and sizes, but specializing in design for authors, artists, musicians, and other creative individuals, as well as consultants, non-profits, academics and start-ups.. I love what I do, and I hope it shows. :-)
My background is in science. I studied biology at Stanford and MIT. I consider myself logical, rational, practical. But I also write (I've published a novel, short stories, and essays), play music, make art, dance, and appreciate all things creative. As a designer, I get to use both sides of my brain, while also getting to know people who do fascinating things. Which feels like the best of everything.
