Here goes my first blog entry on WordPress! I decided it would be a bit easier to keep a blog more periodically updated on a professional blogging site.
My freelance company is called KOTO Graphics. The KOTO stands for Kimberly Ohlig | Thomas O’Hanlon. (Soon to be Kimberly O’Hanlon, as we are engaged to be married this May in Maui, Hawaii. I started freelancing when I was 18, and have enjoyed designing for small companies ever since. It is a pleasure for me to work with small business owners and learn all about their niches.
In this blog, I am going to briefly describe a few of my past projects.
My first ever project (and what got me the idea to start my own business, was for Nathan Machutta, founder of Firelight Industries.’

Doing the project for him was interesting, it initially began as a website I struggled through while in my web design class in college, but I enjoyed seeing someone who took his passions of dance, fire, and performance and turned it into a successful business.
Another project I will reflect on is El Patron Georgetown, Mexican Restaurant and Cantina.
El Patron Georgetown (Real Tex-Mex Food!)
I recently revamped this website…I started doing this early in 2008 for the employers of a good friend of mine in Georgetown, TX. Jesse and John Berenji are the owners of this restaurant. Brothers, and immigrants to the US, they have a very successful story, of beginning from nearly nothing and building a business. Read the article on the website if you get a chance. They will be moving to a new location soon, so that was part of the reason for my redesign…to give their “face” a new, upgraded and clean look.
I am going to close this blog here, but there will be more to come with more projects in focus and my thoughts and ideas.
