I am a Canadian Web Design & Development/Graphic Design Professional with strategic SEO knowledge living in Muskoka, Ontario, Canada. Specializing in creating websites that my clients can manage and update on their own without knowledge of HTML. My tools of choice are Wordpress, Bootstrap & jQuery.
I live for, and love, my passion for creative design
Code is like art - This gives the web infinite possibilities. My web coding skills are current, utilizing HTML5, CSS3 & Javascript to build beautiful responsive websites. Meaning... my sites look great on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
How I got here
I've been designing online for about ten years, and developing now for six. Coming from a eighteen year extensive background in Graphic Design, I have a strong understanding of how to use design to communicate effectively. To keep current I went back to school in 2011 to upgrade my skill set, and now I consider myself a Full-Stack Web Developer. I want to keep learning for life and the web allows me to do so. I'm particularly passionate about UX & UI (User Experience and User Interface).
How I roll
I skillfully work with clients to determine their needs, and produce creative, stylish, and effective sites within budget and time constraints.
