I am a Seattle web designer, graphic designer, online and offline marketing coordinator and principal for Art of Zen Studios, LLC. (http://www.artofzenstudio.com).

I guess you could say I am at my best when developing a web site design plan that incorporates the needs and goals of the client while taking into account the needs of the visitor (which aren't always the same thing). I'm also good at taking a simple brand and developing a complete marketing campaign and web site around it.

I find myself without a steady income and need an accountant and business attorney who are in the market to trade work for work so I can get my business off the ground. And more work would be nice.

I have degrees in both graphic design and marketing. All of my coding experience for the web is self-taught.

I also have certifications for Macromedia Flash, Dreamweaver, HTML, CSS, and Adobe Photoshop.

I have been designing web sites for more than 12 years, and have been in the graphic design/marketing industry for over 20. I am extremely efficient in photo manipulation, graphic design, web site design (including Information Architecture (IA), User Interface Design (UI), and Gamer Influenced Design (GID)), web site coding/development, online and offline marketing and Search Engine Optimization (SEO). I am also well versed in Flash animation and Flash web site design.

I have worked for everything from bed & Breakfasts to major corporations such as XMRadio, Polk Audio, DirecTV, Tylenol, HGTV, Food Network, Trane, and Universal Orlando. I have done everything from brand design, environmental design, architecture, interior design, and packaging design to web site design.

I've given lectures at local high schools and community colleges on design principles, color fundamentals, coding basics, and animation principles, and also do a bit of writing - (http://www.artofzenstudio.com/blog/).
