SKILLS 4I enjoy working in a team-environment; brainstorming, slogging, and
enjoying EUREKA! moments as we head towards a common goal. Helping
a client see possibilities where none existed before. Proficient in HTML5 and CSS3
and jQuery UI. Experience creating bespoke Word Press and responsive sites as well as using templates.
Well-versed in the entire web-centric suite of Adobe products, and not half-bad on the print side. No
stranger to Final Cut Pro, After Effects and Adobe Premiere for any video needs. I can also rock a fez.
