A creative and curious designer with a passion for both the technical and relational sides of design. Strong skills in HTML, CSS, and graphics programs and the ability to work with people, understand businesses and organizations, and effectively manage projects. I see the big picture.
Worked as the designer at a San Francisco-based startup. Helped to define products, designed features conceptually and visually, then worked with the engineering team to implement them into web and mobile applications through HTML, CSS (SASS), Javascript, and Django.
Manage and create projects from start to finish for more than 30 diverse clients. Successfully manage the finances of the profitable business. Majority of work is from referrals from past satisfied clients. Clients include:
Designed several websites in Photoshop based on requirements from clients as part of a team. Worked closely with owners to learn and observe day-to-day business operations.
Develop and teach classes on technical subjects several times a year. Give students of various skill levels an understanding of software like Adobe Photoshop and OS X.
Worked with other developers and directly with clients to learn about and eventually take over web design part of business. Work featured in online galleries and "best of" lists.
