Origins

Creativity showed up early in my life. I was the kid who was always drawing, building, tinkering, or trying to understand how something worked. I didn’t think of it as “design” back then — it was simply how I processed the world. Making things wasn’t just fun; it felt natural, grounding, and purposeful. Those early instincts became the first threads of the career I didn’t yet know I was weaving.

As I got older, that creative pull only grew stronger. I found myself gravitating toward art, design, and anything that blended imagination with problem‑solving. I didn’t choose design as much as it chose me. Every project, every class, every experiment nudged me closer to the realization that this wasn’t just something I enjoyed — it was something I was meant to do.

My early professional years were shaped by curiosity and a willingness to learn whatever the moment required. I took on projects that stretched my abilities and taught me how to adapt quickly. Those experiences didn’t just build my skill set — they shaped my work ethic. They taught me the value of showing up, doing the work well, and treating every project like it mattered.

When the World Wide Web arrived, everything changed. Suddenly design wasn’t just visual — it was interactive, technical, and constantly evolving. I embraced it fully. I learned new tools, new languages, and new ways of thinking. That willingness to dive in, even when the learning curve was steep, became one of the defining traits of my career.

In early 1998, I was hired to build two public‑facing websites — both due the following month. I had never built a website before. They handed me a license for Microsoft FrontPage, and I taught myself everything I needed to know: the software, the structure, the source code, the hosting. Those two sites didn’t just launch on time — they launched my career. That project taught me something I’ve carried with me ever since: with enough determination, I can learn anything.

Every step of my journey — the people, the places, the lessons — shaped the way I work today. My approach is rooted in curiosity, craftsmanship, and a commitment to doing things the right way. Returning to this work isn’t nostalgia. It’s alignment. It’s choosing the kind of work that reflects who I am and how I’m built to contribute.

Today, I bring all of those experiences — the early creativity, the self‑taught grit, the decades of professional work — into every project I take on. Done by Wubbz isn’t just a studio name. It’s a promise. A return to the work that matters, done with care, intention, and the standards that shaped me from the beginning.
