deCielo Creative Collective

deCielo is barely obfuscated Spanish: ‘de’ as ‘from’ or ‘of,’ and ‘cielo’ as ‘sky’ or ‘heaven.’

deCielo is creation inspired by beauty and love and the boundless wonder of the sky and the heavens beyond it.

deCielo is the professional home of
Carlos Drew d’Avis and his collective of creative co-conspirators (read: friends).

We design and develop websites and web applications.

We are particularly experienced in Linux/Apache, MySQL, PHP, Ruby on Rails, Drupal, and WordPress.

We are devoted to standards compliant HTML and CSS.

We are good at the Internet.

More About Us

Long ago, Carlos spent a summer with four friends hacking together websites in FrontPage from the basement of a local businessman. This basement summer planted the seeds of interest in web design and development—as well as foosball—in young Carlos.

Following completion of a Computer Science degree from Harvey Mudd College, Carlos spent two years fixing computers and supporting users as the Engineering System Administrator at HMC. He finally escaped to Seattle, joining HMC and frisbee friend Brook Riggio in the glamorous life of freelance web development.

Brook and Carlos conceived deCielo one afternoon on the return drive from business in Portland. Carlos' goal was to establish a professional brand as well as an umbrella organization for creative pursuits. deCielo has waxed and waned—mostly waned during Carlos' stint as a real employee at NeonGecko.com, Inc.—but returns now with a vengeance. A beautiful, happy vengeance.
