I am a Graphics Web Designer based in New Jersey and Massachusetts. I specialize in Photoshop, CSS, and XHTML . My designs emphasize creativity and simplicity. Functionality and accessibility should be able to be achieved without compromising simplicity nor design. Designs and layouts should be based on web standards allowing all audiences an equal opportunity to experience a site that is intuitive.
If you would like to check out my work, please visit my portfolio. Wondering who I am exactly? Take a look at the about me page. If you have a question or if you are considering my services please drop me a line at the contact page.
This summer I plan to go to South Africa with 4 other selected students from NJSEEDS, a prestigious non-profit organization aimed at helping disadvantaged students living in New Jersey achieve a better future. I myself am a NJSEEDS alumna, along with the other students applying. In cooperation with the Learning Circle Network, we will be attending a leadership summit held in Cape Town attended by students all over the US and students from South Africa.
However, I can only go on this trip with your help! I need to raise $4500 for NJSEEDS in order to participate. Please donate whatever you can to help support NJSEEDS and the trip. If you would like to learn more about the summit, visit ussayouthleaders.org
Thanks.
Think
The first step to a great design is to not take a step at all. The most important part of design is planning. Everything should have a purpose. Think about the layout in your head and map where and why everything will be. Wrap the design around content, not vice versa.
Design
The purpose of design is to make a point, to emphasize the important parts. A page's design can be unique and creative while being user friendly at the same time. Keep a healthy mix of wild and conservative. Don't get attached to the first idea you get.
Code
One of the most important things is to not let the restrictions of code restrict your design, especially when with CSS there are no restrictions. I assure you every bump in the CSS road has been fixed one way or another. Coding can be time consuming and exhausting, but the final product is definitely worth the wait.
Clean
And finally its clean up time. All the trials must go and all the code and images must be optimized and organized. This helps later when you come back to the work for maintenance, and you will not leave other programmers and designers in the dark when it comes time to change or upgrade. Besides, knowing that your code is clean and organized gives it a great aesthetic feel.
