I started designing web pages in 1999 . After designing a few sites for family and friends I was hired to do my first professional site for the Santa Fe Maternal and Child Health Council in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In 2001 I left my job and started The Bloomin Web, which eventually became blogverve.com.

I am self taught and am constantly researching and updating my skills. The internet is constantly evolving and technology is always improving so continuous education is always my goal. I am proficient in Photoshop, Illustrator, ImageReady, Acrobat, GoLive, Dreamweaver, and Flash. I hand code in XHTML and CSS and use Javascript, PHP and MySQL for customization. I am familiar with many Blog, CMS and shopping cart software programs like Wordpress, Expression Engine, Joomla and Zencart to name a few.

My design philosophy is:

“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I strive to create pages that are both beautiful and functional and I aspire to create designs that are easy to navigate and accessible to everyone. Web Standards and Usability are always at the forefront of my designs. To view examples of my work please visit my portfolio. I look forward to doing business with you.
