I'm a task oriented person with a very laid back personality. My main hobbies would be photography (NikonD40), Skate & Snowboarding, and anything to do with music.

Some background on where I learned how to apply my services:

I'm a jack of all trades kind of guy when it comes to website design and development. I started with simple HTML programming and then moved to Flash pages, from there gained a passion for more of the design elements as well. I started doing freelance work once I graduated high school. I started my first website: www.masked-media.com in '06, and used it as a portal to gain more experience and network.

I want to be the guy implementing creativity in a user friendly design, a site can look amazing, but if a user can't work it... what's the point!?

With this philosophy, I'm able to make sites not only functional and user-friendly, but have its own unique style as well.
