Interactive Designer,
Front-End Developer.
WordPress? Almost exclusively.
I started working as a professional designer in the Summer of 1999. For 5 years (2004-2009), I spent my day as the creative department for a variety of companies under one man, including Tarkenton Financial, The Small Business Support Center & GoSmallBiz, in Atlanta, Georgia. They are all owned, and operated by Fran Tarkenton, a legend before my time.
Prior to working for Fran, I invested two years (2002-2004) in a rigorous design program at
The Creative Circus, a Graduate Advertising & Design School in Atlanta, where I nurtured a love for typography and ran away with eight awards including Student's Choice. In 2010, I experienced what it's like to be an instructor at the school.
Being an artist all of my life, I've adapted skills in web development and animation to breathe life into my artwork. I've managed to turn art into a career where it is always a pleasure to work. Although I specialize in websites, I'm well-versed when designing for print, packaging, identity and branding campaigns as well. The way that I stay fresh is by exploring something
new and inventive on everything that I do.
