I am a freelance web developer and web designer living in Grand Rapids, MI. I started freelancing in 2009 and have worked with numerous personal clients and agencies.
I have an Associate's Degree in Web Design and Development from Grand Rapids Community College and 4 years of experience freelancing and consulting.
My specialty is Front-End development with HTML/CSS, JavaScript and jQuery, and several Front-End frameworks including: Twitter Bootstrap, Skeleton Boilerplate, HTML5 Boilerplate. I also have skills in PHP scripting, SQL and Database Design and Development, Adobe Creative Suite, and Audio / Video and Film Production, and CMS frameworks especially Drupal and Expression Engine... And I learn something new everyday!
My latest 3 month assignment through Otterbase provided me with some stellar designs from the team at Full Circle Marketing in Grand Rapids to mark up and code. I was responsible for taking the Photoshop designs and creating a working website template.
Through Headspaces in Chicago, IL., I have procured most of my Freelance work over the past 4 years. Per project work, mostly Flash animation and banners, with a few sites and some troubleshooting and debugging. It has been a great introduction into the business and helped pay the bills while I finished my degree.
Below are projects that I procured on my own, mostly through word of mouth.
These are projects completed as a class requirement.
I am interested in any opportunities, especially full-time, long-term positions. I am also ready to relocate, for the right opportunity.
