I am a web designer and developer with marketing and writing experience who has worked on numerous web projects and sites over the past five + years. My work as a contractor means that I have cross-spectrum of skills ranging from client management to proposal writing, marketing, SEO, graphic design, logo and identity design, web design, cms plug-in development and mysql application development.

 

I most recently worked with Reinvent in Vancouver quickly implementing fully valid, sprite-optimized, cross-browser compliant  css designs as they experimented with new monetization models. I previously worked with them providing usability consulting and redesign services for Vancouver.com.

I also retain a number of clients on a part-time basis and am currently looking to either expand my client list or find part or full-time work with an interesting & dynamic web company.
