The Don't Blink Team

Left Brains & Right Brains UNITE!

It's nice to put a name with a face, or a face with a name... and know who the heck you're working with! We like to call it the meetings of the minds... Good design, good programming, and great planning go hand in hand for the success of any web project. We at DBD pride ourselves on the ability to give our clients the best of both worlds. We are comprised of a group of talented individuals, each with our own respective skills and specialties that make us the best at what we do.

Kevin Fremon

Founder / Director of Innovation & Imagination

With over ten years of professional experience in the web/print/branding/packaging/design field, Fremon is a hands-on leader who strongly believes in consistently raising the bar of industry standards in visual media communication.

Formerly employed as a creative with a major entertainment corporation, the high volume of demand for Fremon's creative eye propelled him to open his own design studio, Don't Blink Design, Santa Monica, CA.

Today, Kevin's passion lies in creating original concepts and innovative ideas for todays web 2.0+ and mobile software development markets. Fremon's creative eye and instinct for intuitive interface design, color weaving, and strategic branding are what make DBD a complete full service web development and design firm. Having to know each project from the code-base architecture to the pixels you see on screen, Kevin believes in a harmonious balance of form AND function.

Will Mason

Partner / Director of Technology

A natural engineer, Will began building computers at the age of 7 and mastered web development by 15. Hours of Apache Doc reading, open source code reversal, and a "no one can stop me" attitude have led to his cutting-edge technical abilities.

As a developer at NewCars.com (now Cars.com), Will wore many "hats" - webmaster of the company's three main websites, internal tool developer, sales & support team application writer, as well as accounts receivable.

Today at Don't Blink Design, Will is responsible for the creation, implementation, and master-minding of some of the most sophisticated dynamically driven websites in the industry. Between leading a team of talented programmers or coordinating large scale server architecture, Mason remains hands-on as DBD's strongest developer.

Dustin Brown

Director of Bending Time & Space

Dustin brings several years of business acumen and entrepreneurial success to DBD. As an owner/operator of one of the most successful AT&T franchises in the San Diego area, before selling his company and joining DBD.

Excellent sales ability, knowledge of finance, overall operations and business development, Brown is a essential part of Don't Blink Design's continuing success.

Daily, Dustin plays a variety of roles. As the client liaison extraordinaire, you're sure to be speaking with Dustin on a regular basis during the creation of your big idea. While orchestrating the timeline and schedule of a multitude of accounts, meeting with clients (in the office or on the course), or brainstorming revenue waterfalls, he continues to bring a personal touch to every project.

Luna

Director of Client Relations & Siestas

We like to think that we're the reason clients love working with us, having meetings in our office, and continue coming back to us. But every once in awhile we just have to keep it real and give credit where credit is do. We would not be where we are at today without the phenomenal talents and client relationship skills Ms. Luna has brought to the table.

She welcomes each guest who sets foot in our office with a warm snort-snort here, a lick-lick there. There is no resisting her cuteness. Go ahead and try...

Ryan Adlaf

Lead Developer aka "The Code Cosmonaut"

Ryan Adlaf is what we refer to as a "code cosmonaut", or in layman terms "really kick ass at scripting dynamic software code". He traveled out from Chicago to the Western United States in search of gold, instead he found Don't Blink Design. Ryan heightens the professional skill level of DBD with over 10 years of diverse coding experience. There simply is not a task, idea, or problem that Ryan can't solve. It should be no surprise that he comes from a long heritage line of Jedi. In his off time, Ryan produces music, film, and is also an acclaimed actor. When asked what his favorite color is.... he responded with "Puce", which turns out to be a reddish-grayish-purple. Makes perfect sense that he'd choose an undefinable color.

Brandon Manning

Lead Creative Ninja

Hailing from the big city of New York, Brandon brings some east coast flavor to the streets of sunny Santa Monica. With a passion for graphic design, interface strategy, along with ability to illustrate and animate makes him one lethal creative ninja. His attention to detail and ability to multitask would lead you to believe he has eight arms and can catch a fly with chopsticks, blindfolded.

Well versed in not only design, but a variety of coding languages (you know, all those cool acronyms) , Brandon's evolvement is in every project from start to finish.

Kristine Ota

Social Media Writer Extrodinare

Kristine Ota works in Don't Blink Designs' social media department. She is currently a student at the University of Southern California majoring in International Relations Global Business. Her personal mission is to save the world, one blog post at a time. Kristine brings forth tactical ninja writing skills for website & blog content, illusive dark cobra social media research, and is also well known for her contribution of black belt level personality. She keeps it real! She is truly valued asset to the entire Don't Blink Design Team.
