Professionally speaking, I tried pretty much everything: the 9 to 5 job, the entrepreneurship, the corporate world. I took the plunge and quit my last day job in March 2007. Since then, I made a lot of new friends and worked on many cool projects.
Now I'm working as freelance web designer and I specialize in custom Wordpress theme design and building websites based on Wordpress.
I love what I do and I would and I love being self-employed!
website design and programming, Flash design and programming, information architecture, XML, HTML, JavaScript, usability, CSS, graphic design, branding and identity, etc.
