My Resume

As a designer, I bring over 14 years of experience working with businesses of all shapes and sizes. I provide a variety of web & instructional consulting services, as well as email marketing, project management, and traditional design services. The type of work I’m frequently asked to complete includes:

  • Project management: Gather/define requirements. Identify potential problem areas and resolve. Manage projects from concept to creation.
  • Multimedia/web: Design information architecture, user interface, and page/screen functionality. Edit/develop content for on-screen readability. Ensure usability. Work with back-end teams to integrate content management and other business systems. Optimize for search engines.
  • E-mail marketing: Design e-mail. Ensure usability among a variety of e-mail readers. Set-up tracking/statistics methods. Experience with Blue Hornet, Convio, Vertical Response, Constant Contact, Lyris, and Emma.
  • Print: Develop marketing copy. Design piece. Pre-flight piece. Manage printer/vendor relationships.
  • Identity/branding: Develop marketing copy. Design logo. Create identity system.

My unique ability to understand the creative and technical sides of web design has proved invaluable to my clients. Indeed, I frequently am called upon by larger firms and agencies to act as a go-between for creative and technical team members, especially in the planning stages of a project.

I also understand that all design is subjective, and am able to separate myself from my work. I work with my clients to put aside personal preferences and ensure the final product is something everyone is proud to display.
