| My career in art and web design began after graduating from U-Mass Lowell in 1998 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. It was during my final semester that I discovered the art of web design by taking a class. I had a great teacher, Fritz Jung, the co-creator of The WitchVox.com website. Mr. Jung showed me how simple it was to combine HTML code with images to create a well made site that could provide information and fun in a dynamic and colorful format. He encouraged me to continue to explore the possibilities and see where it took me.
By self-teaching (Thank you Peachpit Press!) and night school, I expanded my skills and managed to get my first job designing a website for Donatello's Restaurant. I soon gained more work with firms like the Reference and STS Research Group as well as small businesses like RMA Fitness. As for my illustration skills, they're built out of a love for cartoons, and developed out of self-teaching, my time at U-Mass Lowell and good old fashioned practice. It's these skills I offer to any and all who need a site designed or a drawing developed for a project. |
