Design & Development
Writing & Editing
My specialties are web design and front-end development. I design and build websites that complement the look and feel of your existing style and identity (your logo, company color(s), etc.) to give you a polished and professional online presence.
As I love to read about and experiment with design and technology, most of my editorial work is now centered on those fields. I write and edit content for a variety of purposes, from company websites to design and technology blogs to social media outlets.
I begin writing assignments by learning as much as I can to understand the subject matter. This includes researching online, reading scholarly journal articles and interviewing experts. Then I take all the information I’ve gathered and use it to create clear, compelling content.
I begin by learning everything I can about you, your industry and your competitors. I then put pencil to paper and create a hierarchy for your website and sketch design ideas. I take the best ideas and create fully-designed webpage mockups using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
Once you've selected a design, and we’ve refined it to your liking, I translate it into a functioning website using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JQuery and PHP.
I incorporate Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategies to make your site attractive to Google and other search engines, and I test every webpage extensively before the site is uploaded for the world to see.
For editing assignments, I carefully scrutinize the spelling, grammar and flow of your content, improving the text wherever possible while still maintaining your overall message and tone of voice.
I write and edit using the Associated Press, Chicago and Oxford English-language style guides; however, I’m happy to use other guides when necessary.
