Summary

I have 20+ years of professional graphic design and web development experience, and still constantly pick up new technologies, ergo the large skillset. I mostly consult with high-profile, name-brand, mission-critical projects, including design, development, social media and mobile web. In other words, I’m a jack of all trades; an encyclopedic webster.

I also have verbal and social skills unusual for a techie, along with tech / team lead experience, mentoring, client soft skills, requirements gathering, proposal writing, RFP and RFI development, technical writing, et cetera, and therefore am also open to managerial opportunities.
