- Summary
I started designing and building web sites in 1994. Working on projects for various clients both domestic and international.
My work has included freelance projects with a high degree of creative flexibility as well as global corporate initiatives that require close attention to compliance standards. I have a strong command of creative design tools such as Flash and PhotoShop.
My experience and passion for design has added value for my employers and clients. I love and take pride in what I do and constantly push the edge to stay on top of my craft.
To give back to the internet community, I donate my time through an initiative I started called Design Donation - designdonation.org
