The Personal Website of
Lyle Hebel
Interactive Developer, Designer, Family Man & Hunter
I was born in Montana and grew up one state lower in Wyoming. After graduating from Montana State University with a degree in graphic design, I ventured off to explore other creative opportunities, but the Rocky Mountains and the western culture were too hard to shake. I joined the Massive Studios team in 2004 as a designer and web developer. I am proficient in all things PHP, HTML, CSS, MySQL, WordPress and Mobile Integration.
When I am not hand coding CSS, you can find me at home with my family, serving on the TwoFly event committee for the Museum of the Rockies, working as the Region 3 Director for the Montana Bowhunters Association, or adding new feature to my side-project, Hatchopedia.com.

What I do at /// Massive?
Head Pixel Jockey / Wilderness Survival Expert
After 8 years of working at Massive Studios, my primary role has evolved into "Head Pixel Jockey" (Senior Interactive Developer). We often like to joke that we really don't have job titles here at ///Massive because the majority of us are proficient in so many areas. That's what I love about working in a small firm. While I spend most of my days developing websites, there are other times I'll dive into identity development, packaging or print design.
I believe one of the greatest assets I bring to Massive is my ability to design and develop. It has been my experience that designers generally do not have a strong understanding of how a site or application is developed, and are disconnected from the final deliverable. Having the ability to both design and develop insures that the original concept is carried through to the end. While every project needs to meet the requirements of the client, it is just as important to successfully reach the needs of the target audience, while still fulfilling all technical aspects to meet website standards and display.

If you would like to work with me, please contact me at ///Massive Studios (406-585-4608). The Massive Studio team would love the chance to work with you!
**please note: I am not open to freelance work outside of /// Massive Studios. Thank you for your understanding.

The Hunter
Head Pixel Jockey / Wilderness Survival Expert
It's not the killing that drives me. . . it's the pursuit. I have gone days, weeks, and even years without harvesting an animal. I find many similarities between hunting and interactive development. They both require a relentless pursuit of knowledge, dedication and understanding of basic animal behavior. I enjoy working for clients in the hunting and outdoor industry because I feel that I have an internal connection to their products or services. While there are advantages to specializing in a single market, one can also learn from many markets and incorporate those concepts into fresh ideas. Just as in hunting, there are no sure things. . . only good laid plans and intentions.
