A bit of my narrative.

I am a web designer in Oberlin, Ohio. I am genuinely enthusiastic about web design. I began offering design services of my own in 2006 as Cary Foster Studio LLC.

I know the In's and Out's of designing a good website. I've been designing websites for 8 years, and I have the professional background and the know-how to carry out the design process, large or small, from start to finish.

I am of the arts background, and I'm good at visual design. I studied at the Cleveland Institute of Art (BFA 2000). My artistic abilities come in handy when designing an attractive, compelling website.

I am of two cultures: Japanese and American. I am a product of the two sensibilities, and the design I do is a product of my duality.

I pour my heart and soul into the sites I build. I take pride in the level of technical and creative detail that goes into the work I do.

I am my toughest critic. I don't consider a design finished until I'm completely satisfied. I'm hard to please, but that only gets my clients reeaaally nice websites.
