The following is a quick history of GbStyle.com. Providing insightful interactive solutions for six years.

Hello,
Welcome to GbStyle, interactive storefront quasi-agency/consultation spearheaded by Josh Bernard , creative director of The Netcom Group. I am an expert of information design, user experience, interactive solutions, and general client statisfaction. This site version 2004 is a bit outdated, but still gives a sense of work history. Life has been busy and good for the most part. So never time to spend on this section of the 'tubes.
Here's the quick pitch:
Custom Interactive Solutions,
GbStyle creates custom solutions for the Internet, marketing applications, CD-ROM, even good ol' fashioned branding, print media, and advertising. Some may call it media convergence, we call it "Leveraging the Internet so that $ can become $$$".
