I am a graphic designer, software programmer, and general web enthusiast. I am currently employed at PROTEUS Technologies where I preform corporate design work, and development for the corporate intranet and public website. I believe in using strong graphical and symbolic elements to emphasize the meaning of the work. However, I am not afraid to experiment with different styles or learn new things. Beyond design I thoroughly enjoy exercising the other half of my brain with backend programming, especially with PHP. If you are interested in what I have to offer, or think there is a project I can take on, feel free to contact me or view my resume below.
XHTML, CSS, JavaScript (jQuery), PHP, MySQL, PERL
Adobe Creative Suite 4, especially Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Dreamweaver, Adobe Flex, Aptana, Netbens, 3D Studio Max, Google SketchUp, Microsoft Office

About: For the yearly Senior Show at Payne Gallery we had to create postcards to have available for parents and guests who viewed the gallery. I decided to incorporate my identity into an easy to create papercraft project. I enjoy thinking through projects like this, and I like knowing that my work is more than just something to look at. Human interaction is often an important part to the design experience.

Title: Elevator Simulator Interface
Type: Graphical Interface
Skills: Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, Java, Netbeans IDE
About: This is a simple interface that I completed for our senior computer science seminar. While all user input is done via the keyboard, the class needed a non-textual way to represent a building with elevators and people. I created the images for the program in such a way that the building was built on-the-fly and allowed to have any number of elevators and floors, and any size building desired.
Coming Soon!

Title: Sintue
Type: Interactive Web Site
Skills: XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, AJAX, PHP, MySQL, Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Illustrator
About: Challenged with creating a design for "any website you would like to make" I decided to take on the typically poorly designed "online confessionals." While the idea behind these sites is interesting, their designs are often poor, or completely lacking. By combining multiple web technologies, I created a simple, yet intuitive web site.
