Work

SmARTful Solutions By George logoThis page features some samples of design work done by Linda George and SmARTful Solutions, By George! I do design and fabrication (architectural models, furniture, simple product design and prototypes), and as needed or available, graphic and web design; also photography, copywriting and graphics for both print and web. Expect updates now and then, as we narrow our scope where skills and passion thrive.

I am fluent in AutoCAD and the Adobe Creative Suite, and have top status in color theory and psychology. My design focus in these narrower niches includes architectural model building and furniture design and fabrication, with handmade skills including woodworking, soldering, drafting and laser cutting, plastics manipulation, sewing, and much more. My instincts and taste excel those of most in areas of originality, precision, image curation, editing, color correcting, persuasiveness, compositional balance and clarity, mood, subtle objective emphasis, and whatever I sense is necessary on a project-specific basis. 

Below you will find a sampling of some of the work I’ve produced…so thanks for taking a look! There are several galleries you can explore (you can use the jump links below to skip down to a specific category):

NOTE: if you see nonsensical code instead of the galleries, it’s because my host again blacklisted one of the best gallery plugins on the net instead of fixing/alerting me to a problem. Please complain to us if you see this! Sorry for any inconvenience; we’re focused on maintaining our other sites that we manage, and our own site comes last.

Please note that if you choose to use the slideshow view, it takes several seconds to load. If you wish to scroll through the slideshow more quickly than its automatic rate of progress, you may do so by clicking on the image and arrow icons. If you wish to go back, you will have to return to thumbnail view. You can also scroll through images by clicking one from thumbnail view, within each of the three pages.

About Our Owners:

Linda “Eilee” S. George, our principal owner, has an extensive history as a Maker. Here is a brief, yet not all-inclusive, sampling of her skills and experience:

 

She has also served as a furniture designer/drafter/fabricator/installer, a graphic designer, an interior decorator and salesperson, and a newspaper typesetter and proofreader. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Art Education and an Associate of Science in Industrial Design Technology. A creative problem-solver, she is compulsive in self-guided study, and has taught herself web design and simple coding, as well as two musical instruments and some fluency in three languages. She has lived and worked in St. Louis, Chicago, and Denver, and counts herself blessed to have had the benefit of gleaning knowledge from a handful of wise and generous mentors in several areas of interest. More of her pursuits are viewable at eileegeorge.com – which is also a place of her experiments in web design so you never know what state you’ll find it in! And her more recent paintings are more specifically HERE.

Her husband Greg is also integral to the company’s skill set. He holds an Associate of Science in Graphic Design, with over 25 years experience in the graphic design field. He is an Adobe guru, an articulate communicator, and a stickler for accuracy with an uncommon approach to common sense in the design process. He is also knowledgeable enough to be able to streamline a process without sacrificing any quality while doing so. He has numerous other production skills and is a creative thinker who complements his wife perfectly. His site and portfolio are HERE and HERE.

Both Greg and Linda are prolific and gifted photographers, and have developed a large library of original “stock” photos that have not become overused clichés all over the web, and they can generate new photos to accommodate many of their clients’ needs, to help them find a unique voice to compete in a sea of sameness.

SmARTful Solutions By George logoOther members of the family serve as advisors for projects requiring certain engineering, mechanical, or specific craft project knowledge as needed, as well as market-research-like sounding boards for concept sessions. We have fun and we make a great team!
