Freelance Web Designer / Project Manager
strangerpixel
(Internet industry)
June 2006 — Present (3 years 6 months)
I have completed a number of freelance contracts over the past 3 years, and presently manage websites for several clients. Much of my work begins with consultation and advice for those looking to develop a web presence.
My skills include front-end design, information architecture, copywriting and light programming (e.g. using open source content management platforms and code libraries). I have worked with graphic designers and back-end developers to deliver more ambitious, complex projects.
Recently I managed a team of Ruby programmers to develop a new CMS application for a client. In the process I learned new skills in project management and code deployment. -
