Robert Weeks

After spending a considerable amount of time in NYC, Robert decided to leave his NJ/NYC roots for the simpler, sunnier life of the south and has been living in North Carolina ever since.

Following a career in woodworking, Robert felt the desire to change paths and study design and typography at Pratt Institute in New York City. Robert then began his own web design and programming shop in New York’s SoHo, and began working on large national clients such as publishing house Simon and Schuster. Robert continued his career at NetworkArts in North Carolina, as Senior Web Developer, where he met future partners David Minton and Frank Yonnetti. When the opportunity arose in 2001, Robert, David and Frank decided to begin their own web design company and founded DesignHammer.

Robert’s role as Partner and Lead Developer for DesignHammer involves overseeing the development and maintenance of dynamic sites, as well as assisting with administering DesignHammer’s collocated servers.

Outside of work, he is an avid cyclist and has ridden in the Habitat for Humanity of Durham’s annual Halloween 100 bicycle ride for the last 3 years. In this event he has been one of the top 5 fundraisers each year he has participated. Robert also enjoys kayaking, woodworking, and restoration of 1960’s British cars (current member of the North Carolina MG Car Club). Not forgetting his former life as a rock star in NYC, Robert also continues to develop his guitar skills, regularly performing at bath time for his two young children.
