About

I’m a 29-year-old web designer and developer from Chicago. I do contract/freelance website design & development, e-commerce design, and logo design. Prior to going freelance, I worked at a fun dot-com where coded Flash games, managed video content, occasionally wrote and acted (both live-action and voice talent).

I write in HTML, XML, CSS, PHP, jQuery, AJAX, JavaScript, and ActionScript. I love the Adobe Creative Suite, TextWrangler, Firefox Safari, and WordPress. I really like hand-coding. I love anything open-source, and web-based applications.

I also play roller derby for The Windy City Rollers, where I also serve as a member of the Board of Directors, as a consultant to the Creative Committee, and as a jammer/pivot for my team, The Manic Attackers.

Up With Skirts is my playground.
