The winners of The 2011 Communicator Awards have been announced by the International Academy of the Visual Arts today. With thousands of entries received from across the US and around the world, the Communicator Awards is the largest and most competitive awards program honoring the creative excellence of communications professionals.

I am very proud that 4 of my projects, and my own site, were recognized by GDUSA, and that they can now take their place alongside the best of this years American interactive design work. Congratulations to all my winning clients! Good work cannot be created in a vacuum, and I am always proud of the collaborative process that my projects involve, of which these types of design-led yet effective sites are a natural result.
