Welcome to Barbs Design Boutique in Minneapolis!

Have you ever found yourself thinking...
"If only they made a program to do ______" ...Well, "they" (I) DO!!

Using the incredibly powerful Macromedia/Adobe Director, almost anything that you can imagine is possible. Whether it's a program to automatically rename files, check on the status of a file on the internet, create batch files or a complete, fully-functional program to help you do your job, it is possible!!
...and it probably does not cost as much as you think!

Samples of my work:
Among the piece of stand-alone software that I have created, are...

>> East-West Karate: My most recent project, a piece of software to manage the student database and invoicing for East-West Karate. This software was custom-designed, but it has been so successful that I am planning to release a commercial version of it.
>> Magic Online: A robust, full- featured piece of software that allows players that live thousands of miles apart to play the game "Magic the Gathering" as though they were in the same room. (Even includes a real- time chat feature!)
>> Prepare to Speak: A piece of software that allows a user to write and plan oral presentations. Based on the system and book by Gayle Brickman (www.preparetospeak.com) Includes the ability to save sessions, and print/email finished presentation maps (a graphical representation of a presentation).
>> Family Feud: A game created for Abbott Laboratories Renal Care consultants. Includes ability to type in guesses for the top 5 answers, and a scoreboard for two teams!
