web design...

I have a passion to push the web forward in terms of creativity, aesthetics, usability and technology.

I have experience in producing websites in .html .xhtml with .css styling, flash with actionscript 2.0 and 3.0 plus Wordpress and Joomla cms systems.

I love to incoporate hand drawn and artistic elements on the web. It gives a project more individuality and character making the product or service stand out from the generic template based masses.

Primarily as a designer and illustrator I am happy to provide a 3rd part web developer with Photoshop graphic files ready to be coded up.

For more of the websites I have designed and programmed please visit the web category of the blog.

The results are quite a revelation, the lack of schooling or influence means she can simply put marks on paper and enjoy it. If I [...]
