Personal Biographics Web Design

I built this website for Clarence "Cab" Baber in order to provide him with a platform for his unique professional experience in organic farming in Hawaii.

In a consultation with Cab, I realized that he didn't have an online presence, save for a simple Facebook page. With the help of Personal Biographics, we interviewed Cab and documented his personal story, professional background, and current areas of specialization.

Within days, Cab's business, Big Island Herbs, received new emails and phone calls.

"I specialize in organic farm consultations, and when my personal website came online, I got several large new contracts with just a few weeks. I believe the website provided the right personal background, and companies were more confident to contact me directly."

During my career as an ethnographer, environmentalist, and social scientist, I have had the opportunity to conduct personal biographic interviews with people from many different cultures, in many different languages.

As a learning experience, developing personal biographies opened the lives and knowledge of others in a way that was mutually beneficial. I learned from each person and enjoyed documenting their lives, while at the same time, interviewees told me how they welcomed the opportunity to share their stories with me.

One early project involved filming a series of biographical interviews with the last living tribe of head-hunters in the remote mountains of central Taiwan. This later became a fascinating series of films about this incredible group of people and their fast-vanishing lifestyle.
