Internet Wonder Woman
Communications Superhero
My passion is communication (BOTH visual and verbal). I love the relationship between graphics and text, and how they work together in a dynamic way.
My working career has followed this path: journalist, online journalist, online editor, online marketing and SEO specialist, web designer, graphic designer, web developer, flash developer. And so, I understand well the relationship between text and visual design, design and coding, and vice versa.
The Internet is the most flexible tools for communication. And so, it is central to my skills base.
Web Design/Development
I'm an advanced HTML, XHTML and CSS coder (I prefer handcoding, but can use Dreamweaver), and can work with PHP, javascript, Ajax and MySQL. I'm a whiz at slicing and coding PSDs - I abhor tables! Finally, Wordpress is my best-friend! In my hands, it becomes an all-purpose, powerful CMS. (I have also worked with Joomla and Drupal).
Graphic Design
Photoshop, Fireworks, Illustrator, Gimp and any other graphics software are my playthings. My schooling was at an art school, with my specialies being painting and design.
Online Marketing and SEO
I'm a dapper hand at social networking, building links, and have designed/coded/researched/written successful enewsletters and html email campaigns.
