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?

I am looking for new projects starting toward the end of April 2010. 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!
