		<description><![CDATA[[raw]<strong>Pretty Clever</strong> is a tiny design studio and wee print shop located in Chicago's Logan Square Neighborhood.[/raw]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pretty Clever is actually just one fella … and a cat. My formal education is in print &amp; 2D design, though my 8 years professional experience since has focused primarily on Web, interactive, and UX work. I started Pretty Clever as an attempt to get back into the print/2D/illustration work which my professional career route had distanced me from – to rediscover the work I felt more passionate about, while continuing to do the work I had practiced and honed for nearly a decade. The work created through Pretty Clever has been about finding and maintaining a balance between the creative and the technical – the finely crafted and the finely programmed – to try to keep things fresh, and not get burned out on providing only one type of service.</p>
<p>My focus is on delivering appropriate solutions to complex problems – to simplify the complicated and add dimension to the simple.</p>
<p>Pretty Clever is a small shop, but packed with talent, know-how, experience, and verve – capable of tackling design challenges of any size, from Mom-and-Pops’ needs to larger agency projects.  My services range from web design and development, to corporate identity and branding – and everything in between. If you’ve got a project that you’re interested in working with me on, <a title="Give me a shout" href="&#109;&#97;&#105;&#108;&#116;&#111;&#58;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#102;&#111;&#108;&#107;&#115;&#64;&#112;&#114;&#101;&#116;&#116;&#121;&#99;&#108;&#101;&#118;&#101;&#114;&#100;&#101;&#115;&#105;&#103;&#110;&#46;&#99;&#111;&#109;">get in touch</a> and I’m more than happy to see if we’d be the right fit.<span id="more-1"></span>!</p>
<p>My main goal with Pretty Clever is to keep things fresh, to not allow my work to grow mundane or become burdensome – to maintain passion for the work I create and creative process. My work with Pretty Clever, whether it’s making handmade goods, or designing a full corporate identity, is just as much about as it is about continually progressing and growing as a designer as it is coming up with appropriate, original, creative solutions. </p>
<p>So, <a title="Holler at your boy" href="&#109;&#97;&#105;&#108;&#116;&#111;&#58;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#102;&#111;&#108;&#107;&#115;&#64;&#112;&#114;&#101;&#116;&#116;&#121;&#99;&#108;&#101;&#118;&#101;&#114;&#100;&#101;&#115;&#105;&#103;&#110;&#46;&#99;&#111;&#109;">get in touch with us today</a>, and see what working with Pretty Clever can offer your company.</p>
