About Me
I’m a twenty-something living in Seattle, having graduated from the University of Washington in 2010 with a BA in Near Eastern Languages & Civilization – naturally, I’m pursuing a career in web, graphic, and UX design.
You can reach me by filling out this contact form, or on LinkedIn here.
I’d say I’m best at:
- Photoshop & Illustrator
- HTML/CSS
- User interaction design (UX)
- Social interaction design
- WordPress
I’m functional in:
- PHP – The extent of my PHP knowledge comes from thorough interaction with the WordPress platform
- Javascript, including jQuery – I’ve implemented and modified existing plugins and the like, but I have not learned it from the ground up
- Ruby on Rails – I’ve developed for sites using Ruby and so am familiar with the file structure, but I’ve never coded for it
I don’t know much about:
- ASP.Net
- SQL (other than wordpress usage)
- Java, objective C
