Why Use Simply Elegant as your Designer?

5% of all sales are donated to the National Wildlife Federation.

The money you spend goes to improving the quality of life for not only yourself and fellow human beings but also towards the other creatures that we share this world with.

I have worked with website design since the mid-nineties when I self-taught myself html coding and image editing. I have since studied Design in The Netherlands at the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht (HKU Utrecht School of the Arts) and also at my home university the University of Idaho. I have earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts where my emphasis was mainly Interface/Website design, Information Design, and Collage.

I have created many personal websites, blogs, galleries, and business websites for my current clients. If you have a design that just needs to be made functional - I do that too. I have designed graphics for interactive educational interfaces, and companion sites for real-world projects.

I work fast and efficiently. You'll be surprised how much money you won't spend when you hire me as your designer.
