who we are
PointZeroDesigns is an interactive design and development agency based in the midwest. We are an innovative group of individuals that strive to see good content placed on the web. Many websites appear to have that "blah" look and feel, or maybe they just don't look like they are from this century. Whatever the case, that's why PointZeroDesigns exists; to bring clean new looks to the web and make sure they are programmed right the first time, so you don't have to do the job over again.
PointZeroDesigns is run by:
- Gary Flavin

In the midst of one of the worst winters ever remembered, Gary D Flavin started focusing much of his free time, outside of his Graphic
Design Bachelors degree, working with the music industry. It was at this time PointZeroDesigns was conceived. He began to focus on website
and print projects. After a few too many sleepless nights and hard work, PZD had an expanding client base that included bands such as
Norma Jean, Paramore, Parkway Drive and The Chariot. After college, Gary started working closer with programmer Adam Woloszyn,
harnessing his talents to work on expanding web development projects. Lucas Starr began working with PointZeroDesigns in 2008 and it didn't
take long before he soon joined the company. Looking back, music has been the glue that brought together the pieces of the PZD puzzle and we all like it that way.

Raised in the Dairy State of Wisconsin, Adam met Gary in 2003 when they played a show together in their respective bands.
They hung out, talked about music, talked about web development, and had a good time.
For years, Adam worked with Gary doing oddjobs here and there for different projects Gary picked up in the music industry
coding static HTML pages and eventually custom backends for bands to keep track of their shows. During this time, Adam attended
the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point to further his web knowledge, and earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information
Systems with an emphasis in Digital Media Development. Adam is experienced in server side languages such as VB.NET and PHP, as well as
scripting languages like JavaScript or ActionScript 2 and 3. Adam and Gary found that their experience with the web grew tremendously as they
worked together closely, and began doing more together. After working through numerous projects and companies, came the strong that survived, PointZeroDesigns.

Hailing from the great state of Texas, Lucas was born in Austin and
eventually made his way north ending up in Fort Worth, home of the
legendary Fort Worth Stockyards. In 2007, Lucas and Gary met through
mutual friends in the music industry and started brainstorming ways
that Gary could get more design work through all the contacts that
Lucas had through his band Oh, Sleeper. Having no proper education in
design, he started making show flyers and shirt designs for his band
and other various local bands to make extra cash when the band wasn't
touring. In 2008, Gary invited Lucas to utilize his industry contacts
and resources to join the PZD team while apprenticing under him,
learning the ropes, and developing/maturing his skills as a
professional designer.
