Who am I? I'm an aspiring front end web developer with a love of responsive web design. I'm an outside-the-box thinker who loves learning about technology and web development as much as I love learning about science and geek culture. I'm a superhero customer service agent with over a decade of heroic experience. I'm a hobby YouTuber and wanna-be mad scientist who will enact my dastardly plan once I've played through all the games in my Steam library.

The work I do includes using HTML and CSS to: modify and update content, add text and images to existing pages, create links to Amazon seller's pages, and advising on future layout and content updates. I also proofread site content for grammatical errors, and use Adobe Photoshop to resize and edit images for the web. I have also gained technical experience from student assignments and personal projects. My continuous education and perseverence foster my professional growth in the amazing world of web development!

Illustration and Design
My Skills
I'm a self-taught illustrator and comic book artist, and have worked on several freelance projects over the past two decades. Pencil and paper are my medium of choice, though I use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for color, text, and layout designs. I started out as a child, drawing my favorite comic book, cartoon, or video game characters (my Battletoads and Sonic the Hedgehog comics are hilariously bad). As I got older, I acquired several books on drawing techniques and anatomy, which helped me improve my skills and refine my style.
My Experience
Over the years I have worked on everything from logo design to fan-art to full color comic strips. I enjoy working with clients to bring their artistic visions to life, from creating a brand logo for their company to sketching a fantasy character for an e-novel. I have found clients via college postings, word-of-mouth, and online forums. Currently, my method of choice for finding clients is the amazing website, Fiverr.
