We're a small studio of web architects that specialize in web-application design & development.
We specialize in information, user-interface and interaction design services. Our design process involves research, wireframing, prototyping and testing. We live for the complex problem solving that is inherent in web-applications, but we reserve a little love for websites too.
Everything from the development of prototypes for testing and experimentation, to full, production-ready products can be fully realized by our team. Our focus is on the architecture, interface and interaction (behavior) of web-applications and content management systems (CMS). We are comfortable developing within client-only or client-server hybrid environments as well.
User-neuropsychology is a special passion of ours. Knowledge of the human condition helps solve unique and complex problems while preserving an optimal user-experience. We're focus on driving goal-oriented behavior, capturing and sustaining attention, and ensuring a positive user-experience.
We have a few pieces of work below, but you are also welcome to visit our popular community pages:
Site: Ka-Prow Bistro
Summary: This project was has been an ongoing, work-in-progress for a couple of years. I do not maintain the site anymore, but help from time to time with blog articles, photography and minor changes.
List of responsibilities:
Site: Learn English with Drew
Summary: Cerebral Ideas was hired to design and develop a CMS (content management system) that would allow the client to build a feature rich English learning site. The initial launch version is available above; the final version was altered by my client after hand-off.
List of responsibilities:
Site: Transform Blog
Summary: Cerebral Ideas was hired to design and develop a Wordpress blog for a prominent business speaker. The objective was to present David McNally in a warm, personal style while providing a good reading experience using a platform that allowed independent maintainability by the client.
List of responsibilities:
Site: Unavailable
Summary: Cerebral Ideas was initially brought in to design an enterprise-level web-application for a patient accounting system for education. Then, after the initial design & prototyping phase, our responsibilities were extended to developing the application's client-side in a client-server architecture. This application is still in development and is behind a login, so it is unavailable for sharing.
List of responsibilities:
Site: Unavailable
Summary: Design and engineer the user-experience for a suite of applications that will be used within a web-based intranet. This web-application is responsible for heavy data management and uses very large, complex forms and UI/Ix tools. This project is still in development, and it too is behind a login.

I'm Justin Lowery, the owner of Cerebral Ideas, but I'm not the only one who's responsible for all that is produced. I have a few, extremely talented people working with me. Together, we are an amazing team of web architects that love to take on the most complex problems in web and application development.
I've been a designer for over a decade with a focus on information and functional design. After about 4 years of graphic and web design, I started front-end & interaction development and absolutely fell in love with building rich interactive user experiences. For more than a few years, this passion has turned into building powerful web-applications.
As strange as it may sound, I’m also a licensed, registered nurse (RN) with a strong focus on neuropsychology. My experience with, and understanding of, what makes us human is vital to building products that align with users' expectations. I’m feverishly focused on building a strong base of knowledge of human behavior and how it affects human-computer interactions.
We also have a deep respect for typography and information design, so we start every project with building and designing the message. Then, by slowly adding elements that support the conveyance of that message, we utilize an inside-out approach to design and development. This ensures all elements, graphical or textual, support the message and not distract from it.
We pride ourselves on our passion for communication and willingness to share information and knowledge with the community. This drives our desire to educate, unify and assist in all aspects of a project. With our rich experience in planning, strategy, messaging, design and development in an agile, team environment, we can be a valuable bridge to connect the sometimes disparate fields.
