About me
It is commonly believed that a developer cannot be a successful designer and vice versa, but when someone asks me whether I am one or the other, I cannot give a straight answer. I often say that I am a designer during the first stage of a project and a developer for the second part.
A Flexible Process
Creating web experiences is an organic, flexible process where development and design are two poles interacting freely. While I don't consider myself a graphic artist, I do believe many of the better website designs are created by pragmatic persons looking for something that works rather than something breath-taking. When I create mock-ups in Illustrator and Photoshop, I also keep in mind what will be needed in terms of CSS and Javascript to produce these pages and enhance user experience. When I start building the information architecture, I also work on the database development it will require.
I am confident I can provide you with an effective graphic design that keeps in mind your essential message, and in the same time, develop simple and straightforward applications with a clear focus on usability.
I am a web developer / web designer with experience in the healthcare and mass retailing industries.
From the design and development stage to search engine optimization and usability testing, I take a global approach to the creation process for a successful web presence.
I am actively looking for a full-time position in the Philadelphia area. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in my profile.
