I have been doing freelance since September 2008. I have designed websites and print material for many different clients. I create all my websites using CSS/HTML and custom design.

100 Watt Design

Web/Graphic Designer
I was hired as an intern initially, and after my internship was done I was hired as a full time employee. At first I did print projects and then quickly learned web development. I developed websites from start to finish, as well as maintained and updated them. I worked closely with all my clients to make sure they got exactly what they envisioned and needed to make their business successful. For one of our clients in 2007 I coordinated a charity gala to raise money for orphanages. I enjoyed my job and the responsibility and challenges that came with it.
