Web development requires a broad range of knowledge and skills. Segregating designers from coders from engineers results in conflicting goals and shallow solutions. We focus on our areas of expertise, but maintain a cross-disciplinary skillset. We think about the big picture.

We are Lara Devitt and Dwayne Holmberg. As independent— yet inseparable— freelancers, we have collaborated on projects since the late nineties, jet-setting via internet to New York, Paris, Geneva, and a few places in between. In 2008, we decided to finally make our long-time "freelance romance" official: thus, OM was born.

Together, we have crafted identity sites, e-commerce solutions, content management systems and a wide range of online tools. Big and small, they were all loved equally.

Dwayne Holmberg thinks about solutions before tools and people before code. Unlike many programmers who sequester themselves behind that iron veil that divides machinery from humans, Dwayne prefers an open process that honours both. He has hands-on experience leading all stages of advanced web site and web applications development, including requirements definition, design, architecture, testing and support.
Lara Devitt walks both sides of the designer/coder divide. In fact, she never knows what to say in the 5-seconds-or-less on the elevator when people ask what she does. To her, the IT world is rich with possibilities, and she's explored quite a few of them. Nowadays, Lara is happily focused on pure CSS design, friendly content management, and crafting usable interfaces for web applications.
