Well, I am not all that mysterious. A bit quiet, yes. Unless, that is, when I am talking about solving client problems, the topics of design and front-end development.
I’ve been designing and coding for over 9 years. For me, the passion is about helping the client tell their story, and seeing that story flourish into results. Adding the technical side of front-end development is an added bonus.
I am grateful to have my start in print. I had print production experience working with pre-press studios, interned with a photographer, quality newspaper ad experience, long document experience and information graphic illustration.
Way back, I spent two years doing training and safety videos and photography. I spent a year in film school, and occasionally do a little video work on the side.
Early in my career, I was fortunate to be chosen to be on Thomasville Furniture’s web team. I got my start in front-end development there and continued learning on my own. That is when the web standards community was struggling to convince the design and marketing community to switch from coding websites using tables. I was hooked on the concept of separating content from design. The web has seen many wonderful changes since that time.
Currently, most of my time is spent designing for the web and developing markup. I’m learning more about responsive and mobile design with a look towards solid jQuery skills. On the side, I’m playing with my illustration skills. I look forward to continue to push my own design boundaries and helping to solve challenges along the way.
