Liz Hunt’s Summary

There's alot to be said for utility, and I believe in 'useful' design. That's probably why I'm so committed to web standards and best practices: once everyone is on the same page, that's when they start communicating effectively.

As a web designer with a passion for practical application, I believe that structure is positively brimming with creative potential; it's all in how you tackle the problem. Let's get started!

Liz Hunt’s Specialties:

Information Architecture (including wireframing, diagramming and prototyping) and Front-End Development (HTML, CSS, Javascript/jQuery, PHP).
