Martin Ferrini’s Summary

I have extensive experience designing for the web and print and I am well versed with the concepts and constraints of both. I am comfortable communicating with designers and engineers and see my biggest strength as a kind of bridge between the two archetypes. In other words, I am engaged enough with both design from an aesthetic and practical perspective, and programming and the ever-changing trends, developments and best practices of the tech landscape from a conceptual and pragmatic perspective. I am excellent at identifying the challenges and solutions to any demanding design project and I am a personable, and motivated team player.

Martin Ferrini’s Specialties:

I am fluent in XHTML/CSS, graphic and web applications, the LAMP/MAMP development environment, PHP, JavaScript and version control, etc. I have years of freelance and agency experience hand coding semantic, accessible, standards compliant, cross browser tested markup and CSS for the web and HTML Email. I have knowledge of SEO/SEM best practices and I am well versed in the theories and best practices of usability and interaction design.
