I love my job. I really do. Every day brings new ideas, new challenges, and new faces. A varied background in entertainment, marketing and management gives me a strong foundation for providing effective solutions. I enjoy taking the time to understand my clients, their business, and their goals.
The best part about what I do every day is piecing together the puzzle of each project. I have an incredible team who can do just about anything and thanks to them we translate our clients’ visions into reality. A job well done, a happy client, and a product everyone is proud of. What could be better?

I am passionate about good design and maintaining an extremely high standard for a(m) and it's clients. I especially love design on this new-fangled technology called the Internets. Paper is good too. Don't let the long hair and tattoos fool you, my skill set is diverse enough to design for the most corporate of clients, but I do prefer "outside the box" strategies.
I get my inspiration from my real life experiences. Everything I see, touch and taste is design. Even my Capitan Crunch. In my spare time I am a musician and singer in a local rock and roll band. We play the songs the young people will enjoy. Oh, and sorry ladies, I'm taken.

Writing is what I do. It's what I love. I've spent my career writing everything from technical manuals to high profile speeches. But what I love most is taking all I have learned, adding a creative touch and developing a message for a client that doesn't just work, but speaks volumes.
The best part about working on the a(m) team is being able to do what I love and work with pretty awesome people while I'm at it. Somewhere between being a mom and a professional is where I live... and both the challenge and beauty of this balancing act are what truly define who I am.

I have always been passionate about art and technology. New media design is the perfect fusion of the two and gives me the freedom to produce exciting, interactive projects. From website design to motion graphics, I am always up for a challenge and at a(m) there are plenty opportunities for me to use my skills.
If I’m not behind a computer, then I can most likely be found in or near the water. Whitewater kayaking is one of my favorite activities. The dynamic flow of the river and challenge of navigating through it is exciting and inspiring. I like to live on the edge.

Im a rarity in the traditional ad agency business, because I've worked on both the creative and the strategic sides of the business. I've spent time as a copywriter, account supervisor and also in public relations. At most agencies, creative people are on one side of the fence and strategic account people on the other.
At a(m), there is no fence. The designers, developers and writers are constantly bouncing ideas off of each other. For me, it's nice to get off the fence and be a versatile member of a collaborative team. For clients, I can put my 20-some years of experience to work for them in whatever way I'm needed.

Our own Dooggie Houser of website development, Brian earned his Masters in Information Systems from UB with a 3.94 GPA at the age of 22. If you think a 45 year old struggling to keep up with technology can code with this guy, you're dreaming.
Unfortunately he was a philosophy minor, so his bio went like this “He is just a reflection of your thoughts and perceptions of what is, what can be, and what should be in the universe.” Regardless, his abilities to understand life situations and model them in databases and web applications are unprecedented!

I love music. Ever since I was a kid I would jam out with my dad to Earth Wind & Fire and Michael Jackson. I realized that with the right tools you can do anything you put your mind to. I used this knowledge to create both websites and music.
I believe that the internet is like music with infinite possibilities, and that there is definitely a good and a bad, but everyone has their own preferences. I'm an alchemist of web design, and my philosopher's stone is making sure the client is just as happy with the end result as I am.
the a(m) difference
We are a small firm with big ideas.
What does that mean? It means our team is small enough to give our clients the attention they deserve, but large enough to have some of the most creative minds in the business. It means we build relationships, not just websites. It means that we can and will give our clients the very best, from brand conception to project completion.
We know how to make a first impression.
At a(m) we pride ourselves on our ability to execute bold statements. Our team uses the latest website development technologies and innovative design to give our clients the competitive edge they need. Your goal is to captivate your audience and grow your business. Our goal is to make every project exciting, unique and most importantly, effective.
We believe in simplicity.
From brand development to website navigation and overall marketing message, our strategy is to be clean, clear and concise. We don’t hide behind flashy design and convoluted content. We take a fresh approach to every project and in the end, provide our clients with an end result that is innovative and successful.
