Personal profile

I’m a graphic & web designer living and working in Vancouver. I build kick-ass web sites that feature clean design and simple usability. Whether you need a static, XHTML+CSS-based Web site, or a dynamic data-driven site using WordPress or Drupal as a CMS, I can do it. Web development can be very confusing, so I try to simplify it for my clients as much as possible. I will walk you through each step of the process and advise you on possible solutions and always respect your input. Whether you have a vague idea or a very concrete concept for your project, I will work hard to develop your ideas.
