Tony Mamo Design

I use design to solve problems and convey messages.
I create beautiful websites, logos, & print material. Let's make something together!

Hello. My name is Tony Mamo, and I am a 24 year old designer. During the day, I work for United Healthcare as a User Interface Designer and Front End Mobile & Web Developer. In my free time, I do freelance work and personal projects for fun and to keep learning new things. For the past four years, I have been designing for print and the web. Born and raised in Michigan, I have developed a deep appreciation for music, the outdoors, and design. I chose the latter as a career because it allows me to combine being an artist, scientist, and philosopher. I am obsessed with typography, colors, textures, grids, and minimalism. I love technology, using logic, and solving problems. I strive to create meaningful and memorable experiences in every project I take on.
I take joy in working with new and small businesses and watching them succeed. I want to make things that positively affect people and exceed their expectations.

When I’m not caught behind a computer screen or notebook, I enjoy spending time outdoors, playing guitar, traveling, cooking, drinking craft beers, and relaxing with my girlfriend and our lovely Lhasa-poo, Zoe.

Want to know more about me and what I do? Feel free to send me an email.

Colophon

This site was built from scratch, fueled by music and coffee—and maybe a few beers here and there. I started out with the HTML5 Boilerplate and implemented new, semantic HTML5 tags. Throughout the site, various enhancements are made possible by CSS3, best viewed on modern browsers (people still use Internet Explorer?!). There are also some interactions using jQuery. The headings are set in FF Tisa, the copy in FF Meta, and the handwritten font is Bello Pro, all served up via Typekit. The portfolio uses Masonry for the filtering and layout. Everything was built on top of a 960 pixel grid for a solid visual and structural balance. Lastly, I used my favorite form builder Wufoo for the contact form.
