I started
my career as a Web Designer and Producer back in 1995 when I was
managing the Technical Communications Department at a software
development company in Austin, Texas. I learned html (those were
the days before the fancy editors) in an effort to produce a Web
site for the company. Here is my resume.

I have been
developing and maintaining Internet and Intranet Web sites since
1995. I work with clients to develop web, SEO, and marketing
strategies for their products and web identities. I work quickly
with clients and am able to effectively communicate design objectives
to web programmers and artists. Many of my projects require coordinating
client objectives with graphic artists, html developers, flash
developers and script writers. Who
We Do will give you a sampling of some of my work.
