    Team Spotlight: Jarod Maxwell’s Journey at David Martin Design

    This month, David Martin Design, under the dedicated stewardship of founder David Martin, is excited to announce the integration of team member, IU Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering alumni, Jarod Maxwell. An expert in Web Design, Graphic Design, and Digital Marketing Strategy, Jarod has a proven track record in achieving measurable results for clients in a diverse range of industries.

    Jarod started his journey at David Martin Design in May 2022. Unable to locate an internship that aligned with his ambitions, he proactively reached out to the local Web Design and Digital Marketing firm, David Martin Design. This initiative transformed into a valuable opportunity for all parties. Jarod gained hands-on experience and knowledge, taking the skills he learned from the classroom and applying them to real-life clients, thus significantly enhancing his professional portfolio. David Martin Design, in return, benefited from Jarod’s innovative ideas, technical proficiency, and ability to understand and address customer needs effectively.

    Recognizing the transformative impact of his work, David Martin Design found it pivotal to secure Jarod’s exceptional services permanently. Jarod stood out not only for his consistent success in project execution, but also for his strategic thinking, remarkable ability to breathe life into creative concepts, and his relentless pursuit of continual improvement and innovation.

    Jarod’s progression from an intern to a permanent team member tells a story of passion and persistence. His ability to identify opportunities, adapt to challenges, and exceed expectations has not only afforded him a permanent position but also a pivotal role in shaping and steering the future direction of David Martin Design.

    “In May of 2022, my heart pounded with uncertainty and modest expectations as I mustered the courage to send my first cold contact to David. Little did I know, this simple act would spark a transformative journey. I was greeted with trust and encouragement, which became the fundamental pillars of my growth. This growth is not static, but rather dynamic and continuous. Each day, I am presented with opportunities to learn something new, to think innovatively, and to explore better ways of accomplishing tasks. This openness to fresh perspectives and novel methodologies is not just tolerated at David Martin Design, it is actively encouraged. In this continually evolving journey, I am reminded daily that the courage to make the first move can open doors to unimaginable growth and learning experiences.”

  • New Internship Opportunity for IU O’Neill School Student, Kyle Buchanan

    New Internship Opportunity for IU O’Neill School Student, Kyle Buchanan

    We are happy to announce that IU O’Neill School Student Intern, Kyle Buchanan, has joined David Martin Design. Kyle is working closely with David Martin, owner of David Martin Design, on a variety of client projects & learning about website design, web hosting, content marketing, competitive research, & SEO (search engine optimization).

    Despite not specializing in the information technology field, Kyle believes he will be able to problem-solve when it comes to content and ideas he doesn’t fully understand.

    Look at that handsome fella!

    “For me, every job is all about problem-solving, even if you know exactly what you’re doing. The very way I came into this position was by thinking of solutions to issues I was facing. I wanted to find an internship here in Bloomington, but I was growing more and more tired of the traditional application process.”

    “You either hear nothing back or you get your hopes up going through additional interviews only for the job to pick the other candidate. I thought to myself about solutions and one day I just sat down and started researching local businesses here in Bloomington, ironically using BloomingtonOnline.com that I now help manage, and came across David Martin Design. 

    Looking at my relevant skills when it comes to website design, I have to say that I don’t have a lot coming into this. I am a technology savvy person though so I have a basis of knowledge in what we work with, because of this relationship or lack thereof with the basics of some key aspects of David’s job, I often find myself having to put my problem-solving skills to work again and again as I find myself in new and often challenging positions. I am happy to say that in the short time I have had the chance to work with David so far I have learned so much with regards to not only technology or Google but to aspects like professional project management.”

    For the past three years, Kyle has been attending IU Bloomington as a Financial Management major, and he is currently in the process of applying to law schools for next fall. We look forward to seeing great things from him!
