Hi, I’m Kirk.
During business hours I am Kirk Roberts Design.
Actually, I can’t really turn that part of my brain off, which is very good for you: I’m just as likely to come up with a smart idea for your project while brushing my teeth as when I’m at the office.
Even when I’m in official design-mode you can still just call me Kirk.
practicing the fine art of impromptu balletI love graphic design because it is an art (not Art) firmly rooted in reason. Not that reason has to equal seriousness. Oh, no. Sometimes the most reasonable path is to be completely silly (in a smart way).
I love working directly with a client-collaborator to get to one of the right solutions that helps them and their business flourish. This is a service business, after all, and I’ll treat you and our work together with the utmost respect.
I love the web for its malleability, dynamism, and ubiquity. It’s a thrill to get a client-collaborator’s new website online for the world to see.
I love that the internet allows client-collaborators to work with me from all over the country. I’ve even had the pleasure of working with someone in Japan (he would just be getting up and I would be about to go to bed).
And I love that you’re still reading.
I’m a dues-paying member of the AIGA, the professional association for design.
I’ve worked as a graphic designer and web developer since 1999 (full-time since 2000) and owned my own business since 2006.
I’m a graduate of the prestigious (and grueling) Portfolio Center in Atlanta and hold a BA in Art History from Davidson College (NC).
I welcome the opportunity to discuss your business and how we can collaborate.
