Tampa Web Designer

About Me

I have been designing websites of all sizes for over 20 years. I first learned Web Design and Programming through an intensive 10-month Web Programming Certificate program at Champlain College, St-Lambert, Canada.

My love for web design led me to complete an associate's degree in Internet Services from Daytona State College and, more recently, a bachelor's of science in Web Development from Bellevue University.

With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in creating custom websites for businesses of all sizes focusing on custom web design and development.

I enjoy planning and implementing online marketing strategies to help businesses grow leads and drive engagement.

I design websites with usability in mind. My designs are clean, practical, and marketing-driven.

Tools I use frequently include Photoshop, Sublime Text, WordPress, Bootstrap, HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, and MySQL. I recently started playing with Material Design and hope to become friends with React.

I am fluent in English, French, and Spanish and hope to learn Portuguese one day through osmosis.

I live in a suburb in the Tampa Bay area with my assistant, a tiny Yorkie named Max, whose personality is bigger than the size of his little body.
