About

Hello and welcome to my online portfolio. This is where I showcase a few of my pieces of past freelance work and experiment with design and code.

Over the past five years I have worked as a web developer in local government, as a web/graphic designer at a document solutions firm, and have two years experience working in London for a busy online web agency.

I have been a freelance web designer from 2009 - 2011 and am now a full time employee for a pharmaceutical marketing company.

I design and build accessible websites using XHTML and CSS. I am proficient in designing and building templates for Wordpress. I also touch on JQuery. Flash animation is also a skill I enjoy and have created many online advertising banners, as well as flash walk throughs and presentations. If you are interested in my skills, please feel free to get in touch.

Work

My work has covered the following areas of digital media:

  • Websites
  • E-mails
  • Flash and Gif Advertising Banners
  • Wordpress CMS
  • Zen Cart e-commerce
  • Squiz Matrix CMS

I am currently a full time employee of the PMGroup and have recently completed design and front end development on Communiquelive.com.

The following is a selection of freelance work I have carried out over the past two years. A large section of work I am unable to showcase on the website, due to client confidentiality. Suffice to say I have carried out work for national and global organisations, including financial, pharmaceutical marketing, and engineering.
