Levi Ness

Levi Ness has good taste, as demonstrated by his design of the ThinkShout logo. He also has over ten years experience leading design projects, and works directly with our clients to make sure that the look and feel of their websites reflects their core mission.
In addition to working with ThinkShout, Levi is the owner of his own design company, TwentyTwo38 Creative, which he established in 2005 when he decided to strap his computer to his back and make the trek to the Pacific Northwest. 2,238 miles lie between the inception of the company in Dallas, TX and Portland, OR where his company now calls home. Levi has a healthy balance of work and play. As a former college baseball player for the University of Texas Arlington, Levi now curbs his competitive sprit by playing in a local dodgeball league. Levi is also one of the co–founders of "The Dodgeball Project," a traveling dodgeball community.
