I create websites that communicate the unique stories of my clients' businesses though creative design. I hand code
standards-compliant HTML, create tableless layouts with CSS and add interactivity via javascript and AJAX. In addition to designing small business
sites, I have experience working as an HTML developer on Java-based web applications.
I am passionate about my work and always go the extra mile for my clients!

Animal Hospital of Soquel
I love animals so it was great fun for me to create this site for the Animal Hospital of Soquel. The biggest
design challenge in this project involved finding a tasteful way to utilize paw prints and pictures of cute animals. That's
my cat, by the way, on top of their logo. His name is Ceng Ceng (pronounced "Cheng Cheng") and he can often be found on my lap while I work.
