Laughing Raven Studio is me, Jeff Hendrickson, and it is my think-tank, my playground, and my face to the world. It represents my 25 years as a designer and developer.
I've held such diverse positions as textile and clothing designer, print designer, knowledge management consultant, graphic designer, branding specialist, web designer, speaker, trainer, and web design instructor.
In the last few years of my career, I've built proprietary, internal knowledge management portals for the government and several large corporations and now find enjoyment working with smaller companies and entrepreneurs, creating websites and total branding packages of print and web design.
If you like what you see here, and you think I might be able to help you solve your problems, please contact me so we can discuss your needs.
Thanks for your time,
Jeff

Here you'll find a variety of web projects I've worked on. I do my best to keep on top of current trends and I use the latest techniques and tools I can find. Each site is built with care towards search engine optimization and standards, and I work with each client to ensure that the site portrays their personality and business goals as much as possible. XHTML, CSS, jQuery and SEO are built into every site.
The majority of the development projects on this page are from government contracts. There are a few from private sector and one with a Fortune 500 company. I've worked with the DoD, DoE, The Navy, General Motors, The Chicago Board of Trade, and The Poynter Insitutute to name a few.
Descriptions of these and other projects are in my CV, which can be downloaded as a pdf from any page in the site.
Examples of print and web graphics are here. Some are for branding packages and others are stand-alone, single category projects.
I use a combination of tools to design graphics, from Illustrator and Photoshop, to Fireworks,
Processing, and Nodebox.
I take a lot of photographs because there will always be a way to use an idea to convey a feeling or create an impression for a project. What you'll see on this page are not the straight photos, but what I've turned them into for projects or just for fun.
A little while back I stumbled upon two software packages - Processing and Nodebox - and my world was changed forever. I'm not a genius with either one of these - yet - but I've managed to work up some very cool pieces by learning from code samples of some of the masters of this genre of computer art.
