As a web designer with over seven years of experience, I have worked with a wide variety of web sites and vehicles for web-based marketing, including viral video and online community sites. Educated as an artist, I have an eye for the aesthetic, balanced with a strong desire for functional results.
In addition to developing and programming sites, I have experience as a radio disc jockey and performer, audio editor, and voiceover artist for commercials and promotional media.
Much of my work was for Pilch & Barnet, a marketing and public relations firm in Madison, Wisconsin. Most of my work for Pilch & Barnet was for travel and tourism-related clients, including a number of tourism commissions and chambers of commerce.
