I incorporated Novaurora in 2001 while still a student, and developed it from a freelance business into one of Pittsburgh Magazine’s “Six Hot Agencies” by 2006. With technology backgrounds, but passions for design and advertising, Michael Capone and I combined the things we loved to produce world-class projects for our client family. Our work included everything you see here, from web applications for private investigators and day spas, to designing the complete campaign for a multi-million dollar condo tower. In March 2007, after an attempt to develop a spin-off business in Pittsburgh, I accepted an offer to lead all design efforts for fledgling Silicon Valley startup Mint.com. We’ve since attracted millions in venture capital, and are growing quickly. Hence, I cannot accept new projects. However I encourage you to contact me for recommendations, or just to network. Thanks for your interest! —Jason Putorti
