Sup, how are you? Good? Awesome.
My name is Joe Tower. I design stuff.
My home is Minneapolis, MN. As a designer, I enjoy all aspects of design, from branding and print work to full-scale content management system (CMS) web integration. My personal favorite CMS' are Wordpress (which this site is built on) and Drupal (which this site is built on). My favorite projects take place at the ground level, from the initial logo and brand development through the website, advertising and beyond. I take great pride in providing clients semantically-sound, usable, engaging, and visually pleasing websites. I dislike Microsoft, and favor Linux or Mac OS. I love kicking challenges straight in the face, and watching them bleed blue, green, or orange, never red.
Basically, I try to make the internet less painful and the world more beautiful.
On the rare occasion my mind isn't focused solely on design, I enjoy film & classic TV (favorite decades being the 40's-60's, Hitchcock, Hepburn, Tracy), music (jazz, metal and hip-hop), quality beer (Mikkeller, Surly, and Rogue breweries are dopesauce), growing awesome beard facial madness, and hanging out with friends, family, and my bassador dog Bud.
