Web Design Experience, References and Client Testimonies

Web Design Education

I have a recent degree in English/Creative Writing at which time I worked as a computer tutor for 4 years in the colleges I attended and took several computer classes as well as Internet and web design. I received on-the-job clerical and web design training for two years working for various temporary companies and then started my own web design business in 2000.

Web Design Experience

Before becomming a professional web designer I volunteered for a couple years learning web design on PropheZine (a Christian site focused on bible prophecy), formatting and maintaining web pages, then served as Assistant Editor and then Senior Editor of PZ's bi-monthly e-mail newsletter. I was also the Research Assistant and Assistant Editor for Eastern Washington University's Willow Springs Literary Journal for 2 years. Combining the above with several years of being an artist and photographer gave me a good background as a web designer.
