I’m a Web and creative designer passionate about visual design, marketing, user interfaces, web standards, and emerging technologies.

I have strong skills in programming, system architecture paired with graphic design and multimedia capabilities plus 8+ years extensive experiences in marketing communications. Below are my core skills.

Web Development

The primary technologies I use are PHP and MySQL, but programming is more about understanding the logic of process than the specific language you create it with. I utilize and advocate web standards like CSS and XHTML as much as possible because I believe that they are dramatically changing the Internet. Not to mention they make my life, and the clients life, easier and less expensive.

  • Linux / Apache
  • PHP 5 Programming
  • MySQL
  • Ajax
  • JavaScript, Mootools, and JQuery
  • CSS and XHTML
  • Open Source - Joomla!, Drupal, WordPress, Magento, etc.

Graphic Design

Web development and graphic design go hand-in-hand. Over the years I have perfected the art of design for the Internet. Using the most common graphic design tools for the Internet, I can apply the most efficient and modern concepts in Web design.

  • Photoshop
  • Illustrator
  • Dreamweaver
  • Flash

Desktop Publishing and Printing

I have also perfected my skills in desktop publishing. Together with my clients, we are able to captivate the audience and reinforce the marketing message by using my creative brochures. I can either work with your existing design ideas, mock up, photos and text or create your brochure from scratch, including concept, design, copy, photography, illustrations, etc.

  • Photoshop
  • Illustrator
  • QuarkXpress
  • PDF Pro
  • MS Word
