Design: Aesthetics and Usability

I focus on creating a great user experience—a balance of visual appeal and ease of use. My skills include graphic design, XHTML/CSS, basic scripting (e.g. PHP and ActionScript) and cross-browser compatibility.

I am currently a graduate student in the Interaction Design program at Carnegie Mellon University. I most recently worked as the primary web and graphic designer for Golden Gateway Financial (2007-2009). Examples of my work are available in my web and graphic design portfolio.
