About
Mission Statement
- To design slick, efficient sites that please the customer.
- To increase the number of well-made websites on the internet.
About Me
- I'm a twenty-year-old rhetoric major in my second year at the University of California, Berkeley. I'm also studying education and creative writing. Creative writing is what brought me to web design: seeking an online home for my fiction, I began teaching myself XHTML and CSS in 2004. In 2005, I built my first website, Dreams of the Quill, which has served as my primary testing platform over the years. Since then, I've made sites for friends and family and a handful of paying customers. I do not work very much, as my first priority is my education, but I greatly enjoy web design and take work whenever I have time.
My Philosophy
- I believe in simple site structures, pleasant color schemes, and easy-to-read text. XHTML and CSS handle these functions well enough; there is little need for such technologies as Flash. Superfluous visual effects are better off never affecting the performance of a web browser. Two words: "too soon."
