This site is under development. Client work often doesn't allow the time for me to work on my own projects, and the broken links and half-finished graphics you see here are a result of that.

In the meantime, please drop me a line at harlan@harlanlewis.com. I am often booked well into the future, but am always interested in new projects great and small.

About

Howdy, I'm Harlan. I've been working with web standards almost as long as such a thing has existed, since about 1999. I'm happily at home in Photoshop, writing code, or making SVN commits, but what I enjoy most is mapping out a concept and discovering the natural ways to get your users to your message.

I relish the opportunity to collaborate with excited people doing exciting things. As such, I'm a member of the NextSpace coworking space, footsteps away from some of the most exciting entrepreneurs in Santa Cruz. You can find me on Twitter and LinkedIn, and of course my blog.

Recognition & Awards. Figure out a way to wrap recognition into about panel, or create a specific About page that includes rec.
