Who is this Naomi character anyway?

I’m a Seattle-based designer who sees creative opportunities everywhere. As an artist, I get inspired by life’s flotsam, and like to arrange random parts in unexpected ways. As a designer, one of my goals is to simplify the needlessly complex information that pervades our world. For example, this paragraph used to be much longer!

Learning new skills is how I stay invigorated. (that, and the lucid dreaming) Hence the welding classes, scuba diving in caverns, cello, tightrope walking, and juggling three pins while not wincing. I made steady progress during my 2002 sabbatical, until I realized it was time to start doing client-driven graphic design once again. So, I started Naomi Davidson Design and have been going strong ever since.

Is Naomi the right person for my project?

Quite possibly. I specialize in the following:

• User experience design and information architecture.
• Interface and graphic design for digital media.
• Creative concepting and visual storytelling.
• Flash programming, in AS2 and AS3. Intermediate level.
• Prototyping interfaces for usability testing.
• Translating a company’s visual identity to the Web.
• Working with and art directing illustrators, writers, and other designers.
• Animation. From quick banner ads to longer movies.
• Graphic production and streamlining.
• Finding stock imagery of handshakes, blue skies, and babies in buckets. (But this might not be the best use of my skills)

Is Naomi available to take on new work?

Spring of 2012 is mostly booked up, and my schedule should be opening up after May 16th. Let’s talk. I’m always pleased to plan in advance!

I would like to send Naomi some fresh homemade pies. Is that okay?

Think you can fatten me up?

You’ll need to try a little harder.

I appreciate both sweet and savory pies made with real butter. Just no spinach, please. And please remind me of an upcoming delivery, in the interest of freshness!
