My name is Doug Gilbert, a graphic designer and web developer living and working in New Jersey, US. I am a passionate advocate of standards based web design and creative graphic design. I am a co-founder and senior designer at 9795 Designs, a creative web & graphic design studio out of Bergen County, NJ.
I’ve created and managed the design of everything from product packaging, brochures, and books to convention banners, brand identities, and websites.
Born in the Bronx and raised in New Jersey, Doug loves being creative and thinking differently. He always loved coloring as a kid. In elementary school, art was his favorite subject. He’s tried a few different careers but it always leads back to creating and designing.
In 2002, Doug started doing a lot of freelance work. Mostly web pages for friends and different organizations.
In 2005, after studying and honing his skills in Visual Communications, he started a design studio. Doug and his staff continue to provide excellent service for their growing clientele not only in the NY/NJ area but around the country as well.
The Reason For This Blog.
The reason I wanted to do this portfolio/blog is because in my spare time I manage to do a lot of freelancing. I wanted to have a place online just to post things I do and things I find interesting.
If you have any questions, need any advice or just want to comment, please go right ahead. I look forward to interacting with you.
