I am a web designer/developer focusing on web standards, SEO, usability and accessibility; living and working in Western Massachusetts. I have been designing websites since 1995 when, as I say, “I ran out of paint one day and looked to the computer as my artistic outlet.”

My specialty is small business and non-profit website development. I love working with clients to make their site a reflection of their business environment. I started off in the 1990’s as a freelancer in San Diego, CA then moved on to develop sign, t-shirt and print advertising in Eugene, OR, Salem, MA, and Brattleboro VT. In 2006 I worked with Optima Computers and Great Awk Wireless in Brattleboro, VT on many small business and non-profit web sites as well as in house sites and print design, including the Great Awk Wireless logo. I am currently employed full-time with Brainspiral Technologies in Williamstown, MA.

In 2003 I decided to finally return to school. I started off at community colleges in Eugene, OR and Greenfield, MA studying womens and gender studies, in 2004 I transferred to Marlboro College in Marlboro, VT to study anarchy and graffiti art with a sub-focus in photography. When I realized that this line of study, though fun and interesting, was not going to help my career I transferred to Marlboro Graduate Center where I graduated top of my class with a BS in Management of Information Systems with a focus on web technologies.

In my spare time I design websites<wink />.
