About
I am a web designer with 3 years of experience working in web design and development. I am experienced in XHTML, CSS, Javascript/Ajax, XML, Flash/Actionscript, Adobe Creative Suite, usability theory, and web standards. I also know my way around a Mac and PC and have experience with ASP, ASP.NET, and other backend technologies.
My particular style when building websites is clean, professional, beautiful, and most of all usable. Most recently I have been developing for e-learning. You can view samples of e-learning interactive activites I have created in the portfolio section of this website.
