Web design and development is my passion. Since the age of five I have been creating nonstop. Whether I am drawing a picture, taking a photograph, knitting a scarf or designing a web site, creation is what I do best.

The client's and user's goals are my top priority. After determining the client's needs and wants I do my best to exceed expectations and develop and implement an innovative and organized site. I won't pretend I am on the forefront of technology, but I have a good eye and will always work hard to meet a client's needs.

I am a creative professional looking for web design work in Western Massachusetts for small businesses, organizations, individuals and artists. I am skilled in HTML, XHTML and CSS and am always willing to broaden my knowledge and try new things. I am constantly improving my programming and design skills and I am familiar with JavaScript, PHP and Flash. I find inspriation everywhere.

Ultimately, my goal is to create and maintain charming web sites in a timely fashion at an affordable price.
