What I Do…

I work with WordPress as CMS for Websites and Blogs. I use HTML, CSS and PHP to apply layout and design, and Adobe for visual imagery.

Currently I am apart of a Company called Skorinc. We develop Blogs for Musicians, helping them have a better platform for interaction with their fans. It’s a pretty amazing project to be a part of. I am the lead developer and designer for the Blog Themes.

Here is what they have to say…
WordPress is a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. What a mouthful. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time.

I build Wordpress Themes.
Themes are the layout and the look of a Blog/Website. Wordpress helps you manage and publish your content, I help you make it look good.

These days it seems just about everyone is using one of these two. It’s crazy to think how far graphics have come in the last 10yrs because of Adobe.

I started working with these programs back in 98. I went through college in studio art & digital art working my butt off to figure these programs out. By 2001 I was the TA for the digital art classes at Humboldt State University, and toutored students who were getting behind.

After college i took a break and did some ‘me’ things. In the end i found my way back to HSU and began working in the Digital art classes again, this time as an intern under Michael Jenner. Through out that year I helped update a number websites for the college. I also taught class for Michael when she was sick or when i had an idea for a class. I really enjoyed teaching classes, but college politics kept me from perusing my masters degree at this point.
