Hello. My name is Knol Aust. I’m a graphic designer, web designer, interactive designer, and pro creative. I’m also an artist, photographer, activist, and then some. I live in Jackson, Mississippi… Fondren… NoFo, to be exact.
I’m extremely passionate about the web, design, motion graphics, illustration, typography, web standards, user experience & photography. I have tons of experience designing logos for businesses & producing unique online brand experiences. Yes, 2000 pounds of experience. I weighed it.
I’ve designed websites since 1998 when Geocities was where you hosted sites, AOL was how you surfed the web, and Yahoo was how you found things.
I’ve been drawing illustrations since I was 4 years old. My mother even has a painting of a robin wearing a scarf that I painted in kindergarten… Seriously, it’s in my blood and that scarf-wearing robin was damned cute.
I like to tweet a lot about stuff ranging from human rights to equality to geekery to design, so follow me on Twitter if you can put up with my ramblings and expletives.
I should also note that I support full equality of all humans. If you have a problem with the gays, it’s just not going to work out between us. You’re probably better off at Disney… I simply can’t work for an individual or business that feels another human is less than because of the person they love. If that’s you, you should be ashamed and learn to embrace the wonderful diversity of humanity; if not, read on to discover some of the clients and businesses I’ve worked with or for.
To cut a long story short: I was born in Mississippi and love it… For the most part. My work guided by a need to make things accessible, useable, and aesthetically pleasing.
I’ve worked with or for Fortune 500 businesses, small businesses, and individuals including:
I like making pretty things that work. I, especially, like making a client happy with the product.
