About Me

I'm a Web Designer formerly creative artist with a strong backing in art theory and history. I'm enthusiastic about client relations, and love working with a team. You could consider me very extroverted, but not disgustingly so. I help many small businesses with their websites, and I hope in the future to be a creative lead at somewhere special.

My skills are in website design, interactive design, logo design & branding, front end coding such as HTML & CSS, designing for Wordpress, and a little PHP, Javascript, & ActionScript.

I went to school for studio art learning drawing, painting, sculpture & photography, but I loved digital graphics and always have since I was young. Going to university helped me to find what I love doing. I Minored in Social Psychology, probably as result of my interest in human interaction. Topping off my academic career I went to college for one year web design program, and here I am.
