about me: “What I do, and what I don’t do.”

I'm an independent interactive designer based in Heber City, Utah. I have been designing for the web since 1998, and have experience working at branding agencies, private companies, and as a contractor. After earning a design degree from Northeastern University in Boston, I worked in Boston for several years before moving to Utah, where I now live, work and play. My passion is for website front-end design: look-and feel; user experience; usability; typography; branding; and high-impact messaging.

“So... What exactly do you do?”

I specialize in user interface design, specifically for websites. That means that I make every effort to use best practices to produce usable, accessible, readable, compliant and (hopefully) beautiful websites that earn measurable results for my clients. I design or redesign websites using valid, standards-compliant and SEO-friendly (X)HTML and CSS techniques. Incorporating Javascript, jQuery, and Flash where appropriate, I like to be creative in enhancing the user experience, without compromising usability.

Resourcefulness is something I find essential to each project. I don't know everything, but I make every effort to keep a project moving. Sometimes this means being a part-time copy-writer, photographer, illustrator, logo designer, project manager, programmer, IT specialist, babysitter, hostage negotiator and therapist. Whatever the project requires, I'll find a way to get it done even if it means recruiting help from other talented specialists.

Despite my passion for design, I try to be easy-going and accepting of client input. My clients' satisfaction is a top priority. I'm very proud and grateful for the great client relationships and professional associations I've been able to cultivate over the years. Please feel free to read what my clients have to say about me.
