I began working in web design as a graduate student at American University. AU's Public History program provided opportunities to create user-friendly websites for high profile museums that promote interactivity, intellectual stimulation, and a shared sense of community.
Oddly enough, I love writing code as much as I love writing about the past and look to improve my skillset as I continue to design for public and private institutions.
As using the web becomes more routine in our daily lives, the demand for functionality and substance in the sites we visit only increases. This proves especially true as the devices people use to surf the web shift from pc's to tablet and mobile technologies.
My objective is simple: create usable web designs that feature clean layouts, balanced color schemes, and quick navigation across multiple platforms.
