[offering expertise in design and production for print & web]

Located in Gainesville, Florida and available worldwide for web and print design, development and production: HTML, PHP/MySQL coding; graphics; layout; digital photography and retouching.

I have a solid background of twenty-five years experience in the field of graphic design. This experience covers virtually all varieties of print media: newspapers, newsletters, magazines, packaging and advertising. My work in the field has involved all aspects of production for high-profile corporate clients with exacting quality standards.

With the advent of the World Wide Web it was a natural progression to expand my skills to encompass this new medium, which quickly became my principal area of interest. From an initial focus on the mechanics of effectively translating design to the web medium and mastery of effective HTML coding practices, I have steadily expanded my knowledge and expertise to encompass every important area of web development.

Besides these skills, I have also managed a client-side development department, taken an active role in development planning and client meetings and was part of a study group responsible for a "soup to nuts" analysis of all stages of web development and a broad set of recommendations applicable to any prospective site which were adopted as company-wide policy.

In 1999 I was lucky enough to be sent by my employers to Mumbai/Bombay, India for six weeks to train a group of HTML developers.
