Creativity has always been my strong suit, but design and development are my happy place. Most girls buy lattes and journals with their spending money—I buy fonts and domain names.
I’ve lived and breathed Visual Design since 2003 when I first had the opportunity to take classes in it, but have worked it also since 2008. Though I had a few years of lower-college level education, I’m largely self-educated (which I think is hugely important as this field is CONSTANTLY growing and changing).
My skillset includes graphic design (logos, print products, ad-type imagery, etc), web design (primarily WordPress, and also Genesis—both of which I am VERY well versed in at this point—though I have also worked with a myriad of other CMSes and backend systems), and an ever-growing selection of coding (I know a substantial amount of CSS and HTML, and am in the process of improving my knowledge of PHP and JavaScript). I am currently trying my hand at font creation, as well as theme and plugin development, and am always entrepreneuring more things to grow my client offerings.
I make a point of interacting on a personal level with each of my clients, learning both their needs and what they’re drawn toward, so I can best serve them. I attribute the majority of my success as a freelancer to this core value.
DON’T WAIT FOR OPPORTUNITY. CREATE IT.
