Objective

I am able to handle any kind of wordpress project and love to do custom theme development. I know well WordPress inside functioning (as codex) and can create custom functions using standard php needed to accomplish the design goals for your website as user friendly and Compatible.

My early design experience was mostly end-product centered. A design process often culminates in a hand off to a printer, publisher or developer. Especially in the case of print. So to bridge that gap, I recently ended 5 years working within a commercial print center, gaining hands-on insight to the full-process.

The web is where I began my design career, building table-based band sites (before we knew better). And while I've continued dipping in and out of web over the years, it's now my primary focus. My goal is to take an opportunity to bring my design experience full-circle, back to the web, as a front-end developer.
