My name is Beau Wade. My experience and educational background is in graphic design with a specialty as a hybrid designer in User Interface design as well as development and production. I also have experience in team management on national and international marketing projects for various companies.
I am a published photographer with a focus on travel and landscape photography. My passion in this field eventually branched out from my love in design as a hobby and is now a full time ongoing venture.
Originally from the state of Oklahoma (Woodward, Chickasha, Oklahoma City, Cement, Weatherford, Edmond) I have also lived in Colorado (Denver, Durango) and Texas (Dallas). Over the past several years I have traveled and worked in Australia (Perth, Sydney, Manly) until my relocation back to the United States in late 2004 to New York, NY in lower Manhattan. As of late 2009, I have relocated back to Oklahoma City, OK.
I am an enthusiastic traveler and a dad to a very cool kid.
I have several published articles and guest blog posts for many websites from design reviews to American politics. My last endevour in this area was for a high profile political blog called watchblog.com.

In 1997, I cofounded the Outland Design Group, a New Media company with the title of Partner and Creative Director. Outland Design pioneered early projects such as gaffmag.com with great success and recognition in it's day. Today, Outland is comprised of Designers, Artists, Developers and Consultants from all over the world that work together on projects of various sizes and scope.
I travel quite a bit, It started back in my time serving in the Air Force and continued from there. Growin up, I had a fascination with the country of Australia. I had maps on my walls and always wanted to go. When I visited as a tourist in 1999 it stuck with me so much I eventually moved there for a few years and I do identify it as my second home. Maybe I just like the idea of relating to the animal of another country, in America that doesn't quite fit in with everything else. I've always been a bit different. :)
