ABOUT ME
I am a passionate creative UX – UI Producer and Website Designer in Columbia, SC. I love the creative outlets afforded me when given the opportunity to help others showcase their imagination online. Digital design is broad in its description, and there is simply no limit to the results that can be generated through creating UX – UI Elements and Website Design.
My background started in electrical engineering, but I got the bug for real estate early on. As time went by I completely phased out of engineering all together and dove into the deep side of the real estate swimming pool. With a strong technical background and learning to market in real estate. Technology used for marketing became a specialty of mine. With the progress of the internet and website design, I was way ahead of the pack.
I was one of the first to incorporate online video in my real estate marketing and was showcasing my client’s properties online waaayyy before YouTube was even a thought.
A natural progression into composite imagery, graphic design, animation, and even podcasting became the next level of my expertise when honing my skills in the internet marketing of real estate. Over the years, those same skills have enabled me to help many other businesses & organizations, and grow personally as well. Today, I am excited about the newest integrations of Augmented and Virtual Reality. With those media on the horizon, what will be achieved in online marketing will be considered somewhat miraculous to many.

Richard C. Marcus, D.M.A., College of William & MaryArlee approached me in June of 2008 regarding the sale of family-owned beach property in North Carolina. He had a sales concept that I had never heard of….. video sales presentation! I hired him to produce the video of my families property and was ecstatic with the finished product. The sales agent I had a listing agreement with didn’t pan out and I signed on with Russ. He guided me through the detailed paperwork, explaining in common sense language exactly what I needed to know about our agreement. With his expertise and commitment to solid business practices, we collaborated on an Eastern US marketing campaign of my family property. It was a fabulous experience from to start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate a second to hire him again to consult with me. I wholeheartedly recommend him as a Real Estate Consultant/Video Producer. His work is excellent!

What's to come next? Content Marketing… this phrase alone conjures up those confusion elements we all trip over when trying to figure out where content marketing is going.

“I AM NOT A DOCTOR!” But… like any good Doctor, I like to diagnose before I prescribe. If you have any questions about your current online marketing plan, or if you don’t even have an online marketing plan, please contact me. Together, we can evaluate what you currently have established with your current online marketing plan, and compare that to where you would realistically like to be, as a result of your online marketing plan. Then, we can design a plan that can get you on the right path to where you want to be… and do it with the right focus and within a budget that you can afford.
Don’t let ignorance be your toughest competitor. If the masses don’t know about you, or how you can benefit them, or even how to contact you… it’s impossible for them to do business with you, or make a donation to you. As important as it is, considering what it’s costing you to get the word out about you, your business, or your organization is extremely pertinent, but you must also consider the flip side of that coin and ask; “What is it actually costing me if I don’t?”
