About us
Overall, I am a designer. I still remember how to use pencil and layout paper, but I also love Photoshop and Illustrator. I love to work on advertisements, promotional items, logos and corporate identity, but I'm also a designer who knows code. I'm happiest when I'm working with, or problem-solving, HTML, PHP, CSS, or something similar.

I employ the latest version of the Adobe Creative Suite software, which includes Photoshop, Illustrator, DreamWeaver, InDesign, and Acrobat. When providing clients print-ready mechanicals for brochures, posters, advertisements and other collateral, high resolution PDFs are usually all that is required by the better printers. However, if full project folders are needed for any reason, these are happily sent on request.

When working on a web site I also use both Photoshop and Illustrator, each where appropriate, along with DreamWeaver and Fetch (an FTP program) to edit code and upload graphics. I do some work in Flash on occasion, but I try to use it only in moderation when and where needed to accomplish a specific purpose. Flash is a neat application, but it's no substitute for good content.

I like looking under the hood.

When working on a web site in particular, I believe the design phase doesn't end with an Illustrator or Photoshop file. Even if a separate programmer is enlisted to build out the architecture due to complexity, the designer must have a working knowledge of code to collaborate with the programmer in order to achieve the desired results- both aesthetically and operationally.
