RESUMÉ   

From 2000 to 2009, I worked as a Web Development Manager and a Web Developer. During these years I worked on several projects and have highlighted the best. While most projects were unique collaborations between the client, programmer and myself, there are some clients that started with an initial design created through a marketing firm. In these cases I took the graphic and created a website that very closely matched the original graphic.
