About me

5+ years experience in graphic design and web design/development as well as 4+ years doing freelancing work. The majority of my work has been in designing and building websites using HTML/CSS (including the newest standards) as well as jQuery and Wordpress. I am comfortable using a variety of software from content management systems and blogging platforms to Adobe products and word processing.

In addition to design & development, I have a strong interest in illustration and have spent countless years drawing and illustrating. Using mostly hand-drawn techniques, I use pencil, color pencil, watercolor and ink to design and create beautiful illustrations and art pieces.

I recently have returned to school to earn a Masters degree in Fine Art. The nature of my course is research-based and allows for me to make my own hours, which is perfect for freelancing.
My work is driven by my desire to learn, my ability to focus, my perseverance and a lot of self-motivation. Time management, attention to detail and open communication are skills that I highly value in my projects. It is these qualities and my previous experience that makes me a strong candidate for your job.
