I'm a hybrid interactive designer and front-end developer with deep understanding of how the web works. I've been juggling both design and front-end dev since the beginning of my career and have also picked up good knowledge of SEO , custom WordPress theming with PHP, and have a keen eye for usability / UX.

I love to create intuitive designs and can quickly flip the design comp into a working UI using the latest techniques with HTML / CSS / jQuery with standards. Having a good understanding of how design techniques are implemented on the web allows me to make quick and wise decisions and also allows me to think further into my designs. I am not only concerned with aesthetics but also have high respect for functionality, performance, and user flow from beginning to the end.

Overall I just love all things digital!
