I've been designing and building websites since the mid-nineties, for corporations, non-profits and small businesses. I listen to my clients and try to find appropriate solutions to their problems. I help them organize and prioritize their materials for presentation on the web, and help them understand techniques and technologies that will help them achieve their goals.
I take a unique visual approach to site design and my clients are happy (as well as relieved and excited) with the results. I have excellent written and oral communication skills and I can translate between the technical and non-technical stake-holders in a project.
Specialties:
Website design and production, Information design, identity design, illustration, cartooning, animation, marketing, usability, graphic production, web technologies, prototyping. Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Flash.
