Introduction
Hi—if you're reading this, you're probably interested one component or another of modern website design. It could be learning basic, yet impactful principles of layout design, maybe it's how design on the web can be used to communicate your message on a massive scale, or maybe you just want to geek out on cool web tech.
I have compressed my extensive experience in design from the past decade working at a boutique graphic design company, to prototyping and launching sophisticated digital products for CBS Sports, as well as my freelance and agency-owner experience working with a wide variety of clientele spanning many industries. My goal is to teach these principles to you using cutting edge tools and techniques.
