I’ve developed dynamic, static, and personal websites as well as
created interactive content which include Flash animations, video, and audio
components.
I specialize in new media and internet technologies. All of the websites
completed by me were built from the ground up. Every detail including research,
design, and programming are original. All of my work is published and consists
of freelance projects for health professionals, advertising agencies, small
business owners, and student projects.
I understand what it takes to produce a successful website. Other assets
I offer are SEO strategies, mobile platforms, and the ability to reach target
audience using methods outside of the box.

5. Design
Continuity, unity, clever layout, and effective communication were the basis
for successful solutions for these projects.
Throughout my career in Graphic Design, I’ve developed several
campaigns. Most are student work but include freelance promotion as well.
I’ve designed several logos, brochures, business collateral, newsletters,
magazine/newspaper ads, posters, and complete campaigns. I have also
filmed, edited, and mixed my own video and audio for websites and animations.
My exploration of printers, printer profiles, paper, and color models are
what give me the expanded knowledge of publication design with traditional
media which includes two complete hand-made books. I feel I will be a valuable
asset to any team creating and managing traditional media campaigns.
