I’m Kurt. I design websites, identities, artwork and video for businesses, musicians and people with something worth sharing. Built and hosted under one roof.
Write the alphabet on paper, snap a photo, and GlyphSnap recognizes every character and turns it into a real, installable font. Shape the letters, add patterns and export in minutes.
My own app, designed, branded and built end to end.
Your handwriting.
Logos, marks and illustration for breweries, dealers, fairs and shops, built to work on a sign, a shirt and a phone screen.
Marks and wordmarks with the system around them: colour, type and guidelines that hold up at 16 pixels and on a billboard.
Event posters, business cards, product labels and flyers, delivered print-ready and web-ready.
Fast, responsive WordPress and React sites with SEO built into the foundation, not added later.
Managed hosting, free SSL, backups and a real person to call when something needs changing.
Music videos, promos and edits that bring footage, artwork and sound together with a clear visual direction.

Goals, audience and competitors. A clear scope and a fixed quote.
