Meet Kevin

I'm Kevin McCarthy, a Vancouver based Digital Designer & Creative Director. For 6 years I've helped companies establish themselves online through design informed by strategy. By focusing in on business goals each website speaks directly to its target audience without compromising best practices.

A good designer's handiwork is invisible. Each project should highlight the very best of a client without the perceptible mark of its maker. Listed below are a collection of sites I'm proud of - modern, responsive experiences that stand out from the rest in their field.

Website Design

Over the years site design has become my core competency, with a process honed by the trial and error that comes with each new project. Listed here are the steps involved in bringing my clients to screens:

Client pitch and presentation
Information gathering through discovery process
Direction delivery via moodboard presentation
Developer cooperation - Assessment of technical and budgetary restrictions before work begins.
Key page design / wireframing
Brand integration & updates (where applicable)
Delivery of all unique desktop and mobile designs
Developer handoff, QA, and post launch additions

Other Skills

A good designer wears a lot of hats. Each clients unique needs call for a constantly evolving set of skills that extend beyond the website. These are some I've picked up along the way.

Brand development
Copywriting
Print design (brochures, business cards, etc.)
Social / Animated ads (Google & Facebook compatible)
