Print & Brand Design
Traditional graphic design experience across brochures, packaging, magazine layout, logos, advertising, and marketing collateral.
About Me
Design background. Technical depth. Real-world experience.
I’m Bernard Uhden Jr., a designer, developer, and technical problem solver with more than 26 years of experience helping businesses communicate better, look more professional, and perform more effectively online.
My background is unusual in the best way: traditional print design, branding, packaging, magazine layout, email marketing, WordPress development, performance optimization, hosting, SEO, accessibility, and modern front-end development all overlap in the work I do today.
What makes my work different
I bring the creative eye of a designer and the practical mindset of someone who has actually built, managed, optimized, and supported real websites.

Practical Problem Solving

Experience
Built on years of doing the actual work.
My experience has always lived at the intersection of creative execution and technical problem solving. I’ve worked across organizations where one person often had to understand the design, the website, the campaign, the deadline, the client, and the business goal behind it.
