about
WEB DESIGN.

Web Design Portfolio

I have 15+ years experience in intuitive and accessible web design/development. Classically trained in design and interface best practices, I have a strong background in creating user-friendly and responsive web pages. I have a keen eye for details while simultaneously envisioning the long-term bigger picture. Curious, passionate, and approachable, I take the initiative in all projects. I am a natural leader, mentor, and skilled web design and HTML/CSS consultant.

    This is the site as it was before Northwest Airlines was bought out by Delta Airlines. Everything you see was designed and coded primarily by myself, including the Deals and Destinations pages, plus the booking engine. Offline site; not all links may work.
  • WorryFreeVacations.com (live site)
    This poor division is on its way out of business. Back when I worked for MLT Vacations, along with designing the NWA WorldVacations site, I also designed a new layout for the Specials pages and resized, sharpened, and adjusted levels on all destination and hotel photos. Limited online site; Specials are no longer active.

World Wide Web Entertainment | JULY 2003

  • 3wElive (offline)
    Freelance job in 2002. Second website I ever designed and coded entirely by hand. Kind of embarrassing to look at now, but considering I didn't know what the heck I was doing back then, it could be a lot worse. It's good to remind myself of where I started and how far I've come. :-) Offline site; not all links may work.
