What I Do
And what I can do for you...
I believe that great design is in the details. I also believe that design must support functionality, and vice versa. One can't, and shouldn't, be used to overcome the weaknesses of the other. Design is more than just choosing colors, typefaces, shapes, and images. Good design works to present information in such a way as to support the information it presents.
With a focus on design, accessibility and rock solid code, my goal is to make sure you get the most out of your web investment.

Who's Doing It
A little bit about me...
For as long as I can remember, I if I wanted to know how something worked, I took the back off and went inside. Of course this drove my mother crazy but it laid a foundation of learning for me that would see me through much of my adult life. And that is how I learned web design. What better way than to "take the back off" and get your hands dirty.
Self taught, I began building websites for friends and family in the late 90's. Experimenting with designs and effects, changing code to we what the result would be, learning new graphics programs. Anything I could get my hands on, I wanted to know how it worked and why.
Little has changed today other than the fact information is much easier to come by. I've kept my passion stirred with each new advancement in HTML and CSS. I've learned that designing for IE6 was a challenge in itself. But most of all I found something I love to do and I hope you see it in the work I do.
