What's so special about me?
I'm a freelance designer/developer based in Phoenix AZ with over 12 years of design & development experience. I've been creating websites since the early days back when frames, tables and animated GIFs were all the rage. I went to college and got a Bachelors in Computer Science in '98, I originally started college life wanting to be a accountant since im great with math and that's where the money is. To my surprise I hated it and quickly changed my major.
I offer my clients a great experience when they choose to work with me. By using excellent communication through email, im, text and phone. I develop friend-like busniess relationships, and a have passion for every project that I undertake. I make it a point to create the best possible service, and experience for your next design endeavor. I have built websites for Small Businesses, Entrepreneurs, Real Estate Agents/Brokers, eBay Power Sellers, and anyone else who wants a web presence.
A little about my background
I have always drawn and won many awards as a child. I loved Art, but long ago my dad told me there was no future in art. In the middle of 1996 my friend showed me HTML. I fell in love at first site. HTML became a way for me to draw and put it up for the world to see. My passion for design met HTML and the rest is history. Now I code as much as I deisgn. I am frequently asked if im a coder or designer. My answer is Both.
Afterall a great design doesn't live and breathe without great code. On the flip side great code doesn't come to life without great design.
I mainly design and code custom listing templates and storefronts for eBay sellers. eBay has its own set of rules for applying HTML and CSS, the fun part is figuring out how to get the functionality without going against the rules. I always say there is eBay HTML and real world HTML. Thank god I know both.
I strive to keep up to date with the latest and greatest technologies, and making them work for me and my clients. I use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to design graphics for the web and print media. I use Dreamweaver to code websites, listing templates, and squeeze pages. I design custom themes for many platforms such as Joomla, Creloaded, osCommerce, Wordpress, Zencart, and Magento.
I also design print media like business cards, letterhead, logos, brochures, invitatations and anything in between that can be printed. To see some of my work view my
