I am a web designer / developer living in beautiful Vancouver, B.C. Canada. In 2009 I earned my diploma from the Interactive Design program at Capilano University. Since then I have worked as an Online Marketing Coordinator for a local health related company along with freelance design and development work. Currently I am an in house web designer and developer for a Vancouver based vitamin supplement company.

Some of the tools I prefer to use are listed here. I am inseparable from my Mac, but I am NOT a Mac snob, I still have my favorite pc and enjoy building my own machines.

To name a couple of the most valuable tools I have as a designer is the ability to work well with other people and knowing how to listen to others ideas and opinions and learning from the interactions. Another is to be able to draw inspiration from many areas of my life and surroundings for design and usability ideas.

I enjoy project management which means I am deadline oriented, not on an irritating level, but I like to get a project completed when I say I will. My clients and team mates know they can count on me.

My job allows me the opportunity to use my creative skills, my love of technology, and the ever flexible and forever growing software / hardware combination to accomplish whatever I can think up. I love a challenge!

When I'm not in front of the computer you'll find me enjoying power-walking, cycling, photography, playing Jazz / Blues guitar, watching movies (my favorite getaway - especially anything set in the 18th and 19th centuries), music composition, architecture and interior design, designing and fabricating jewelry, and drawing and painting.

To sum up, my mission is that I want to make the Internet a more beautiful and usable place, one pixel at a time.
