headshotWelcome and thanks for visiting. My name is Salem. I’ve been a designer for over 11 years.

A good friend once told me something I've found very useful when designing or creating anything. He said you have to remember that it isn't yours. I strive to build things of value for my clients, things that will achieve their goals. The things themselves are valuable only as means to an end. I hope to be of service to you.

I used to work at an ad agency, a print shop, and a design studio – now I work directly for clients. I have an extensive background in print design and production, but these days I do much of my work for pixels. I’ve worked with very demanding and meticulous clients, ranging from architects to fine art studios to corporate dining chains; doing everything from coming up with creative concepts and copywriting, to design and production work, to troubleshooting and prepress, to managing logistics and people, to teaching classes on software.

Aside from design work, I've formerly been a soldier in the US Army, a security officer at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the creator/writer of the blog Suit Don't Fit.

Burning Frog prods is a full-service design studio. Whether you're looking for a corporate identity package with collateral, a website for your business, or invitations for your wedding – shoot me an email. No job too big or too small.
