My background in design and development includes a strong focus on managing multiple specialty websites for non-profits and small businesses. I focus on development of sites using the best practices of semantic markup, CSS-based design, cross-browser compatibility, and user-friendly interfaces. I do this whether implementing a site with a content management system such as Drupal (customizing themes and modules as necessary) or through hand-coded pages and scripts. I have also taken several courses within the University of Minnesota’s M.Ed program in learning technologies and instructional design, with a core specialization in multimedia design and development.
