Craig Keller’s Summary

My name is Craig Keller, and I am a Graphic Designer. I have been a designer for the past 8 years. I am a student of my craft and I am constantly researching the latest design trends to keep my style modern. I am a big fan of Apple Computers. I really enjoy their ease of use, elegant design, and their fondness of application integration. Things I try to bring into every web interface I create.

In 2006 I started Durgle. I design everything from icons to user interfaces to business cards. Not only do I do all of the frontend programming on client websites, but I also handle all accounting, clerical duties, and client relations. I am constantly researching and employing the latest web technologies and design techniques so that I can utilize those trends to the benefit my clients and their consumers. I am currently working on expanding the scope of my services to include iPhone user interface design services and mobile web application design, as well.

When I am not saving the world from catastrophic design disasters. I am an avid gamer, Games I like to play are typically anything that involves a 'Hadoken' or 'Shoryuken'. :)
