Hi! I'm Mike Wilson, a designer and aspiring writer living in Iron Station, North Carolina. I specialize in creative, user-centered design and XHTML/CSS development. I have an affinity for branding, icon design, and for creating Websites people love to use. I occasionally blog my experiences and I dabble in photography. Wootadoo is my portfolio.
What my clients say:
“One of the best things about working with Mike is his ability to take an extremely complex technical concept and break it down into simple, easy to understand visuals that potential clients can quickly digest. That type of creative ability and insight has been indispensable to our sales efforts.” – Victor Lugo, Director of Sales – IQMax, Inc.

OMB Professionals
What I did:
OMB Professionals is consulting firm based in Sterling, VA. They wanted a logo that was reminiscent of the official presidential seal and that immediately produced strong visual queues that associate the firm with the US government Office of Management and Budget.
Water Out Flashing
What I did:
Water Out Flashing was a startup company with a unique window and door flashing product. The main idea behind their product was simplicity in both functionality and installation. They needed a brand that clearly spoke to what their product does - simply and effectively keeping the water out of your home.
*Note: Water Out Flashing is now Weather Out Flashing and I no longer manage the site.
