I've been creative since I was a kid in Detroit watching Mr. Dressup; now I live in the 'burbs and watch HGTV. That
kid with the bowl hair cut is alive and well and looking
to do great things... minus the bowl hair cut, of course.
I am self-motivated and extremely detail-oriented with exceptional verbal and written communication skills. I'm also "Monk-ish" in my organizational skills. I take great pride in my work and excel both in working on my own and in team projects.
My range extends from print to web to social media. I am well versed in traditional design, such as printed materials like direct mail pieces, catalog design and layout, business cards, stationery, typography, logos, and posters as well as basic HTML/CSS web sites that focus on design, navigation, structure, and ease of use for the end user. I also enjoy the challenge of writing witty, eye-catching copy and have experience with wayfinding systems and signage.
While most know me simply as Kostandinos, some may also know me from my work as suedecrush; 2009 celebrates my sixth year under that moniker.

Many long nights were spent crafting this version of my website. Special thanks to four key
individuals with help along the way: Liz Gelfusa, Matt Propst, Adelle Charles and Kelly Clarke.
I've also been lucky to work with some pretty talented individuals over the years, and their creativity has
sparked a lot of what you see here.
