Neil Mackintosh’s Summary

I have been designing and developing web-based experiences, products and services since 1994.

My early work with high-profile start-ups and Fortune 500 companies resulted in solutions that pre-dated--by several years--recent trends such as social media marketing, UGC and community-based audience building.

Currently I operate my own studio which helps small to medium-sized clients innovate, compete and succeed through web design, branding and marketing best practices.

Creative strategy, online brand strategy, visual/user experience/web design, delivery/team management.
