Steven Beatty’s Summary

I have worked as both a freelancer and as a full time employee for a well established web development firm in Portland, Oregon. As a freelancer I have been able to work with some great individuals and companies around the world.

My focus is on creating simple, clean, creative and affordable designs. Whether you require a css based website, a custom print design or a complete brand identity, I have the skills, knowledge, and background to help you achieve your goal, no matter what it is.

My design skills range from pure clean and professional to colorful and creative. I value the fact that my range varies depending on the situation and need. Because my philosophy is to work with the client and not for the client, I am able to accomplish any project that comes my way.

As a freelancer I am able to utilize my artistic talents while stretching the limits of my design creativity.

Additional Information

Steven Beatty’s Interests:

I have a wide range of interests and hobbies, there are 4 particular ones I cherish the most. Family, music, sports, and designing. Designing is my passion. No matter how my day, or life for that matter, is going, I can always find peace and solace within my design elements. Music and sports are an obsession, but in a good way. Of course I am a Blazers fan since I have been living here in Portland for the last 18 years. But right now I am looking forward to the NFL season. As a kid growing up in California there was only one team I could possibly root for, and have my whole life... GO NINERS! My two daughters are my heart and soul. They inspire me to be everything I can be, I know that it might be a bit cliche to say, but it's true. Raising both a teenager and a soon to be pre-teen, girls no less, is a little harder then I expected, but I wouldn't change it for the world. Whenever I am struggling or stressed, all I have to do is look at them and I know it will all work out.
