Hello,

I'm responding to your need for a UX design professional. I looked through your qualifications & requirements list, and I may be the person you are looking for.

I'm a seasoned professional able to converse in the language of design, development, and strategy. Although I've never held a position with the title "UX Designer" I've professionally designed and developed enough user experiences that I feel well qualified.

I'm proficient with HTML, CSS, PHP, Javascript, some JQuery, and API implementations. I'm extremely proficient with Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat and know how to optimize graphics and all manner of documents for the web. I also have experience producing, preparing and publishing video to the web. 

I have a great deal of experience gathering input from various stakeholders on a project and delivering solutions that satisfy everyone's needs. Asking questions, taking inventory, assessing options, testing ideas, and iterate like mad. My work on the Thacher School website is a good example of that: http://www.thacher.org

My role in projects is both designer and developer. So I am able to take my ideas from design to a fully coded working model ready for testing. I've worked on many projects and have 6 samples here: http://berchman.com/work/

Cover letters and resumes really do not give you my full picture. I would like to answer any questions you may have about me and also ask you some questions about the position. 

Contact me at 805-798-3430 or email berchman@berchman.com

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Best regards,
Bert
