About
I am a jack-of-all-trades designer, who is focused, creative, and adaptable. I like to tackle new projects and the more challenging, the better. I work quickly and efficient to complete mundane tasks so I can spend the majority of my time learning something new. I'm a patient instructor and I enjoy sharing my knowledge and excitement with others. I am interested in a variety of design-related careers and I'm always looking for new ways to expand my knowledge and exercise the skills I've gained. I collaborate well in a team, and I enjoy reviewing my work with others. I'm looking for new career opportunities, so if I sound like the candidate you're looking for, drop me a line.

Web DesignerMadison, WIDec 2012 - Apr 2013 (4 months)Designed and implemented a new website for the Shannon S. Stahl chemistry research group at UW-Madison. Site was created using Drupal 7. My focus was on creating a clean site that would be easy for graduate students with no web design knowledge to update. For example, the Publications page is created using a View and a custom content type. Each publication is entered using discrete fields that the View then formats for display.
