I am not taking any new web projects!

As of October 2008 I have decided not to take on any web/print work, my life is simply too busy and I am not spending enough time with my family! I want to write music and record again and pursue other things. I will continue to blog and I am sure i will make the odd thing here and there & I will still support my existing projects until my work is done. - joel.

You do what?

Simple Web, Print & Media Design

VerticalSoul is owned and run by me, Joel Barnard.

VerticalSoul thrives on a passion to design. To create and express ones self through some shape or form. Whether its a Simple Website for an artist or a Complex Database for a Business, its a chance to help develop a good idea! So thats what I do in the evenings and on weekends, during the week, I design ADs for a manufacturing company in San Bernardino, where I design ads and brochures and maintain their network.

I am also available for hire to do small hourly projects like Website Updating, Database Tweaks or Design Touch Ups and Revisions.

To contact me, please email info@verticalsoul.com or use this form.

A Little History

I was born in Zimbabwe Africa and moved to Southern California in 2000 where I currently live and work as a Designer/IT in the day and a Designer/Developer at night. Yes, I used to have wild animals in my backyard as a child and no, not everyone in Africa is black and lives in a straw hut! It was a really cool place to grow up but I certainly do not take the wonderful country I am now a Citizen of for granted. If you ever get the chance to travel to Africa, please do it, its truly a fantasy place filled with adventure and beauty.
