It’s not just about looks and message . . . successful websites need to be useful, practical and dynamic.

From corporate identities and logo work to online presence and web–based application development to multimedia and traditional marketing materials, Adam Frew, Cesari Direct’s Art Director and Graphic Designer, has a gift for discovering what a client needs and connecting all aspects of a project.

His 13 years of experience in high–end design conception and execution - many of them teaming with longtime associate Jeff Mezick, Cesari Direct’s Director of Technical Operations - have focused on fulfilling a customer’s strategy from beginning to end.

“Jeff and I have always had one foot in the corporate world and the other in freelance,” Frew said. “Cesari Direct has allowed us to leverage the best of both because we are able to bring together all the facets of imaging and design with the needed backend coding and execution.”

Beginning as "the web boy" at Kodak Digital Processing, to New Media Specialist in public relations firms in Washington, D.C. and leading creative teams at corporations such as Gateway Computers, Adam honed his skills and visions at respected agencies around the country.

He eventually established his own San Diego-based design consultancy where his client list included Fortune 500 organizations such as Home Depot, Texas Instruments and Fleishman Hillard along with several non-profits and vibrant small businesses.

Married and living one block from Seattle’s famous Pike Place Market, Adam enjoys traveling, studying foreign languages, martial arts and philosophy.

“My dad was in the Air Force so we moved around a lot,” Frew said. “People are often interested to hear that I attended 13 elementary schools. However, Seattle is really the first place where I actually found myself feeling, ‘hey, this could be home.’ It’s diverse, you can walk around, it’s comfortable.”
