my name is derek thomas. many simply know me from my alias 'graphikos' which is derived from a greek word for 'graphics'. i am a freelance web and graphics designer and programmer.

i have one basic philosophy for design and usability: to empower. when i take on a project i set out to empower the client. not only give them the very best custom web site they deserve but give them to tools to manage their own web site to maximize it's potential. achieving this you take a site from just a basic presence on the web to a useful tool and gateway to the masses.
