Allison Bowlus’s Summary
I am currently an full time in-house and part time freelance web & graphic designer who graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Web Design & Interactive Media in December of 2008 from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. I've had many diverse design experiences including visual and developmental design in both office and at-home environments.
Although I have many diverse digital media skills, I am most experienced in front-end web development. Currently I am strengthening my portfolio by bringing creativity to all of my projects and managing them to efficient and successful conclusions.
Flexibility, versatility and an open mind are always my top priority in any project. I strive to be able to learn new skills and stay open to the latest trends & technology in the world of web marketing & communication. I currently specialize in WordPress development, making blogs and dynamic websites with usable CMS structures that make it simple for my clients to manipulate their websites even after my contracted work is finished.
I focus on meeting my clients' every need and giving them products and services that they can be proud to have represent their businesses. I love networking and creating positive relationships with those who I work for (and with) to positively impact the world we live in! If you are interested in discussing future projects, please don't hesitate to shoot me an email at support@designedbyallison.com. Have a wonderful day!
