Over the top and non-traditional. Whimsical and fancy free. Welcome. I am a Print and Web Designer with experience in creating full spread publications, promotional materials, corporate identity, front-end web design, and back-end coding for content management. I am an expert in HTML, CSS, Front-end Design; Proficient in PHP, MySQL Databases, Flash; and have known to do some Actionscripting, and Javascript.
I have had a broad experience in different areas of design, from being a grunt creating the art, and being the art director coming up with the concepts for a projects and managing multiple projects. Currently I reside in Livermore where I work at Las Positas College as a Part-Time Instructor teaching Graphic Design/Web Design in the Visual Communications department. In addition to this I am also a Co-ordinator for the VCOM department running a business with my Boss/Friend/Colleague/Mentor Fredda Cassidy, as well as a Freelance designer in my free time on the side.
Last year on Blizzards Starcraft 2 website had posted in their artwork section about 5 or 6 Black and White photos of a 3d model render of Tychus Findlay. They weren’t up for very long but I did happen to grab the High-resolution files before they were taken down several days later.
My favorite project I have been working on, of many, are the door designs to the classroom at the college. I wanted to help promote the program by putting posters on the door when it hit us, why not just make the door the poster? I had a great time working on these, and so far these are the largest print work I’ve done so far.
I recently came across and became aware of CSS Reboot. Apparently “The CSS Reboot is a community event for web professionals and enthusiasts. Every November 1st and May 1st at 18:00 GMT, Rebooters from all over the world launch their standards based website redesigns simultaneously; bringing traffic, interest and a little respect to their sites. There are no prizes or arbitrary winners, just great exposure and the knowledge that we all participated in something great.”
