Sean Berger’s Summary
I'm a designer / developer with four years experience working with brands big and small.
I take part in conceptual thinking, layout design and the production of DHTML and CSS by hand. When making time for freelance work, I keep my skills sharp in writing object-oriented php and SQL. I embrace front-end standards, semantic markup and mod rewrites.
In 2008, I participated in the redesigns of Carando.com and ClaytonHomes.com as the lead front-end developer at [BR]. Each of these projects involved more than 100 hours of development, cross-browser testing and creative collaboration. I also took part in a usability audit for Blockbuster.com.
I love the interweb!

Sean Berger’s Interests:
I enjoy the things that designers are supposed to love (coffee, macbooks, google). I spend my free time playing piano and I find things like tru tv and the History Channel quite relaxing. Anything in HD is worth watching. Anything. Snowboarding is fun so long as I don't break my neck while doing it.
