My resume
A well-rounded Creative with roots in design, small business, and customer service, I am most recently trained in professional web development with burgeoning web animation interests. In short, I make things, and I love it. Particularly, I love working with people to build what excites them, and pride myself in being a quick study, or laying out the need for additional talent where I am lacking. Whether we're building with fabric, code or Photoshop brushes, I take a balanced approach to discern the core goals highlighting the unique aspects of the individuals involved throughout. I am happy to demystify the jargon and my years of customer support experience lend themselves well to working with clients in a positive constructive manner. No puffed up ego here. I mean honestly, who has time for that? I work best in a collaborative style; I ask many questions, provide a lot of feedback, options, concerns and give professional and personal opinions as appropriate. We'll go through the project timeline, budget, and responsibilities so that everyone is confident at every stage. You'll feel comfortable asking for changes, clarifications, and discussing issues along the way. I don't bite. In the digital space, I can build little bitty low-budget prototypes or jump into an agile team to contribute to a giant complex web app development anywhere in the stack. I fully test my code and I understand both branding and user experience concerns with regard to color, layout, and compatibility. I have made business cards, ads, invitations, html/css/js/AngularJS/responsive web apps, third-party API integration, appointment scheduling, branded pdf intake forms, and written blog copy with custom graphics. Look to me for branding, web animation & illustration, UX/UI flow, front-end development, testing, cross-browser concerns, or shoot your other creative project my way and we can hatch a new plan.
