Graphics/Web/Mobile/Sound
Thanks for taking a look around.
I'm Jon Marr, and I've worked professionally as a graphic/multimedia/web designer for over a decade. I hope this site will help you determine if my abilities can help you successfully complete your projects.
The types of projects I work on are wide-ranging, from logos to web development. I'm comfortable working with large corporations and individual business owners, and have a wealth of experience acting as a bridge between technical and non-technical audiences.
I'm friendly, task-oriented, and I specialize in working independently: delivering projects on-time and on-budget.
When it comes to digital media, I try to cast as wide a net as possible: photo-manipulation, vector images, desktop publishing, websites (template or hand-coded), Flash, HTML 5, video software, music composition... if it's digital, I can likely help.
I've worked professionally as a graphic/multimedia/web designer for many years, working with clients large and small.
Owner / Spokane, WA / 2007 - Present
Creating projects for a wide range of clients, from small businesses to large corporations like The Boeing Company. Projects include websites, logos, flyers, brochures, training videos, Flash/AS3 programming, and mobile apps.
Webmaster / Lynwood, WA / 2000 - 2007
Managed three redesigns of award-winning site. Performed all aspects of the development process, from conception through final coding and ADA compliance checking. Designed web interfaces, created necessary graphics, and conceptualized and constructed code engines that drove dynamic sites.
Chief Sorcerer / Spokane, WA / 2012-Present
Writing, illustrating, laying out and publishing adventure books for digital distibution and print. Creating web utilities and award-winning mobile apps to streamline gameplay for pen and paper RPGs.
The tools used to create digital media evolve so quickly that education is a continuing on-the-job affair, but my traditional education has proved valuable in many other aspects of my professional life.
Majored in History, Geography Minor
While studying history and geography didn't teach me anything about design or the web, I did learn how to write. And to communicate. As the years have gone by, I've come to understand that these are two of the most important skills I possess.
I also managed to fit in computing, drawing, and art history courses, as well as one the first computer graphics classes taught at any university in the United States, kicking off a lifelong passion for digital art.

I've created dozens of Flash applications used for training purposes by major corporations, integrating animation, video, quizzes and games. In addition I create gaming utilities for both the web and mobile devices.
This is an intro animation I created for a safety initiative at a major aerospace company in the Pacific Northwest. The look and feel of the character and the animation style became the template for the entire campaign.
The Crawler's Companion is an app to streamline the play of the pen and paper RPG Dungeon Crawl Classics. There are versions for the web, iOS, and Android. It won a 2013 Silver Ennie Award in the Best Software category.
Creating music is a big part of my life. I compose symphonic/soundtrack/training video music in a variety of styles. If you need custom music for a project delivered affordably and quickly, contact me. My band m2 is currently working on our 2nd CD.
