SUMMARY
Professional artist/designer for since 1981. Since 2002, hand-coding web/multimedia design and development has become career focus with emphasis on agile methodologies, User Interface/User Experience design & development, information architecture, emerging web technologies (CSS3, HTML5), cross-browser quality assurance, direct interaction with clients/stakeholders and acting as a liaison between creative and tech departments. Has worked for magazines, large corporations, advertising agencies and design studios doing digital illustration, 3D, digital audio & video, motion graphics, web & interactive design.
THE BIG QUESTION
Am I a designer or a developer? I'm both. I'm a designer who became a digital illustrator (hi-end Photoshop & 3D) who then became web designer who became good enough at front end development that I do that as well (very well, actually).
