SUMMARY OF RELATED EXPERIENCEMy professional design interest is in creating compelling user experiences. For the past twelve years, I have been building web based user interfaces for a variety of clients and industries, using my experiences as both designer and developer. When it comes to conceptual and practical design development, my well-rounded skill set and wide-ranging experiences have allowed me to be a generalist, able to approach problems with a fresh palette, and a specialist, who can pay attention to the details of a project. |
