Hi. I am DotcomPicker
01.
My passion lies in investing in domain names and building websites that tell unique stories. At DotCompPicker.com, I help business owners understand that a domain is more than just an electronic address—it's their first contact with the world. Like dating, first date, first impression.
My entrepreneurial journey began in 1994 when I recognized an opportunity to create value by providing access to vital information. Starting as a primary school teacher, I quickly realized that trading time for a salary wasn’t my path. I took a leap of faith and invested in a university contact database, which became my first successful venture.

What I am awesome at
Creating complete brand ecosystems from concept to digital presence
I’ve developed a particular aptitude for brand identity creation through a combination of linguistic training and design interests. My background in translation paired with self-taught design skills has allowed me to develop brands that communicate effectively across different contexts. I enjoy identifying promising domains and working to build cohesive brand concepts around them. While maintaining my regular employment, I’ve dedicated myself to pursuing creative projects on the side, gradually building my skills in creating comprehensive brand identities
Brand Identity Development
I approach brand identity development as a holistic process that goes beyond visual elements. By understanding the essence of what makes a brand distinctive, I create cohesive systems that communicate consistently across all touchpoints. My process typically involves researching market positioning, defining core values, and translating these abstract concepts into tangible design elements that work together harmoniously. Each brand identity I develop tells a unified story through carefully considered visual and verbal elements.
Domain Strategy
I view domains as foundational brand assets that require strategic consideration. My approach involves identifying meaningful, memorable domain names that support brand recognition while considering future scalability. Beyond simple acquisition, I develop comprehensive plans for how these digital properties will function within the larger brand ecosystem. This includes considering naming architecture, international variations, and defensive registrations that protect brand integrity in the digital space.
Visual Design
Though self-taught in Photoshop and design principles, I've developed a disciplined approach to visual aesthetics. My design work is characterized by attention to compositional balance, thoughtful color theory application, and typography choices that reinforce brand personality. Rather than following fleeting trends, I focus on creating timeless visual systems with longevity. My lack of formal design education has actually become an advantage, allowing me to approach problems with fresh perspectives unburdened by conventional solutions.
Cross-Cultural Awareness
My international perspective has been shaped by years of engagement with diverse cultural contexts. This background has cultivated a sensitivity to how symbols, colors, and messaging may be interpreted differently across cultural boundaries. When developing brands, I naturally consider global implications and potential cultural pitfalls that might otherwise be overlooked. This awareness helps create brands with international versatility, avoiding unintentional missteps while identifying opportunities for meaningful cross-cultural connections.
