Web Development
Self-taught Designer & Developer
I am a self-taught web designer. I started in 2006 as an inexperienced volunteer webmaster using MS FrontPage to take control of a site that hadn't been updated since its inception in 1999. Curious with how the HTML editor worked, I studied the backend and learned how to write code. I have since designed and developed a number of personal and professional websites from the ground up. My main focus is on the user experience.
