FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Why Darling? Your stuff is awfully cute and girly. Can you design anything a little more edgy? Are you hiring? Can we hire you? Can I use your artwork on my web site? Why Darling? Darling is one of my favorite words. It's both a term of endearment and a descriptor of sweetness and charm. Likewise, each project I complete is done so with passion and care. And each end product can be described, well, as darling. Your stuff is awfully cute and girly. Can you design anything a little more edgy? I'm sure I could, but that's not my work's intent. There are hundreds of cool and edgy designers out there, and I respect and admire a lot of them. My aim, however, is to serve those who want an alternative to the flashy design you see out there. I have over 5 years of design experience, so I know how to make a web site that works. With my signature Darling style, I also like to make that site shine. Are you hiring? Darling isn't hiring any full-time employees at this time, however I am always looking for freelancers with whom to collaborate. If you're a tech whiz, a public relations maven or a dazzling designer, please drop me a line. I'll call you if I find a project that might interest you. Can we hire you? I just quit my full-time job so that I could focus all my energy and efforts on Darling Design, but if you have a dreamy opportunity for which you think I'd be perfect, let me know. I've learned to be open to change and adventure. Can I use your artwork on my web site? Not without asking. Please write me before using any of the illustrations shown in the portfolio. The conditions will depend on how you plan on using it.
