FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm constantly trying to learn new techniques, APIs and languages as well as design concepts. It never stops in the web development industry. Things are constantly changing.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've always been into art, but I had a friend who was into programming. He got into building websites and needed a designer to get things looking sharp, so I got real heavy into Photoshop and design. Occasionally, there were challenges when it came to converting designs to websites and when they couldn't be overcome by my buddy, I wanted to find a way to make them work. This is what got me motivated to hop into the business of making websites. It's a never-ending challenge from so many points of view, from design, to seo, marketing, styling with CSS, automation with JavaScript and it's various libraries, and getting all that to work with the back end via PHP and MySQL etc. There is always something to conquer.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Through Thumbtack, I typically get logo design lead or small business websites. I'd like to do more branding and SEO work as well though.
