I am a life-long learner who enjoys making things that solve problems for people and organizations. My background in graphic design and current transition into web development are reflections of that pursuit. I relish challenges that allow me use my technical and creative skills to solve problems in the fast-moving, ever-changing, always evolving platform that is the web.
