Laura Kalbag’s Summary

So far, as a web designer, I've made small web sites for educational institutions and projects, and individuals in the creative industries and a small company. I've designed web apps for desktop and mobile devices, and taken sites from conception to completion through information design and structure, user testing and analysis, visual design and branding, and original themes for WordPress.

Whilst at university I also lead web site projects and consulted for other students and clients on their projects.

Recently, I've been working on a social change web application with funding I was awarded through the Bath Spa Innovation Awards and I am taking the W3C online course in Mobile Web Best Practice.
