Eight years ago I thought I would strike it out on my own as a designer and see where it took me. Over those years I've had the good fortune to work with some smart people and work on some great projects. I've learned that connection with others, asking questions and sharing is what fuels great accomplishments.

I'm a seasoned Internet and design professional with 18 years experience designing, developing and testing user experiences. I have designed and developed for WordPress since 2005—from PSD to custom theme with customized plugins. I'm able to converse in the languages of design, development, marketing, and strategy. I'm proficient with HTML, CSS, PHP, Javascript, JQuery, and API implementations. I'm an expert with Photoshop, Illustrator and Adobe Creative Suite. Insatiable hunger for learning, and possess an open-minded approach to ideas as well as an ego-less approach to constructive criticism.

Have a wealth of experience gathering input from various stakeholders on projects and delivering solutions that meet scoping requirements and meet users needs. I've worked independently as a freelancer, on small design teams, and in large groups, and have lead teams. My deep experience on the agency and client side in a service driven industry has given me expert troubleshooting and problem solving skills, as well as the ability to clearly communicate solutions to others. With projects I like to think many steps ahead before going down a given path to think things through and root out issues beforehand.
