I'm a designer, photographer and videographer currently based out of Upland, IN. I'm a student at Taylor University and will graduate in May of 2010 with a degree in Media Communication - Production. Design has always been a hobby of mine that I love developing and improving upon. I'm fluent with the Adobe suite and use it to produce and design for several different media, including web, newsprint, advertising and video. My first love is cinematography and I've had the opportunity to work on several student short films.

about the site

I drafted the initial design for the site in early summer of 2009 and used XHTML and CSS, a little bit of Javascript and PHP. Some of the flashy effects you see here were achieved using the lovely jQuery and plugins like Shadowbox and Twitter.js.

my skills

Design: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Fireworks

Code: XHTML, CSS, MySQL (I'm learning: PHP and jQuery)

Video: Final Cut Pro, Soundtrack Pro, After Effects, Live Type, DVD Studio Pro, Adobe Premiere, Adobe Soundbooth

Hands-on: I'm confident behind a camera (both DSLR and SD/HD video). I enjoy drawing, painting, coloring with crayons and colored pencils, and I have a knack for Interior design and fashion (though I'm a fairly simple person).

Other morsels of info: I'm a very organized person and thrive under pressure. I like deadlines and the ability to work creatively. I work well in teams and enjoy collaboration, and I also enjoy the opportunity to work alone. Without music my life would be plain and boring. I see benefits to both Mac and PC (but I live and die by my Mac). I have a sense of humor and enjoy laughing. My favorite chick-flick is Serendipity and I love Polish food. I'm always down for some quality communication and would love to hear from you.
