Welcome
I am a local freelance web designer/developer and graphic artist. I've been designing various print graphics, as well as designing, creating, coding, and building websites for over 10 years.
"No matter what the situation, I can adapt, evolve and accomodate to move closer to the end goal."I have over seen many projects from conception to completion, handling all aspects of the designer/client relationship as well as all the hands on work. I have worked in media studio environments taking direction from a project leader, working closely with programmers, other designers and system administrators. I have also strictly designed for some projects and simply handed over the designs for someone else to finish.
I design mainly in Photoshop but have experience with Illustrator, Flash and Indesign.
I hand code HTML, XML and CSS using the code mode of Homesite and sometimes Dreamweaver.
Using Adobe Flash I can create site components, graphics, advertisements, banners etc.
I have worked closely with programmers, have some experience with basic PHP and I am comfortable manipulating design code around programmed code to skin components cosmetically.
I have skinned and created themes for such package scripts as Wordpress, PHP forums, CMS, Rental Man and Newsletter scripts etc.
I am familiar with most cross browser issues and "work arounds", all my sites are tested for the 3 major browsers.
I have done many print graphic projects such as Calendars, Manuals, CD covers etc.
I am also an established photographer.
